"Together, the essays collected here offer new ways of conceptualizing the interdependence of religion and business in the United States, establishing multiple paths for further study of their intertwined historical development." --The Southern Register

"As the authors of the essays in this volume show, examining religion and religious institutions through the lens of business provides numerous insights into how religions gain influence, how they spread, both in the United States and throughout the world, and how their members come to terms with serving both God and mammon. The book is highly recommended for scholars of both religious history and business history."--Matthew C. Godfrey, Reading Religion

"Sweeping in its scope, The Business Turn in American Religious History deepens our understanding of the important role Protestantism played in American capitalism and also broadens our horizons to consider the vital relationships between other faiths and free enterprise."--Kevin M. Kruse, Professor of History, Princeton University
