Fascinating look at US religious culture by an outsider.
By A Customer
I read this book several years ago and am trying to relocate it. The author is a British journalist and, I believe, divinity student who spent two years traveling the U.S. and observing how religion weaves into the fabric of U.S. culture. About one third of the book covers the Mormons, and another third is spent in the Bible Belt. The author writes as an outsider with a cool eye, but midway through he has an allergic reaction to hypocrisy and gets into a shouting match with a born-again motel owner trying to chisel him on room rates. It's a totally fascinating piece of cultural anthropology

A gripping read.
By James A K Fletcher
Fantastic book, highly recommended. As relevant today as when it was first published. It is extremely enlightening, insightful and gloriously scripted.

Product Description

Traveling in a battered camping van, Malise Ruthven set out across America in search of the manifestations—often bizarre and sometimes terrifying—of its religious spirit. The journey took him from the dark woods of Puritan New England to neo-Nazi cults in the Rockies; from Mormons and snake handlers to fundamentalist groups who challenge the teaching of evolution; from channelers in California to the sexual and financial scandals surrounding millionaire TV preachers. The Divine Supermarket is his quirky and brilliantly-observed account of the journey, offering illuminating and humorous insights into the baffling soul of modern America.
