Fannie’S Flirtations: Etiquette, Reality, And The Age Of Choice, Sue Lynn Mcdaniel

A Historical Description Of The Areal Distribution Of The Churches Of Warren County, Kentucky, Neilam Adams

Religion is a part of man and his culture. We cannot understand the totality of man if we do not understand his religion. The church structure is the visible expression of man's religion.
