Tracing out the country's Transcendentalist and cosmopolitan religious impulses over the last two centuries, Restless Souls explores America's abiding romance with spirituality as religion's better half. Now in its second edition, including a new preface, Leigh Eric Schmidt's fascinating book provides a rich account of how this open-road spirituality developed in American culture in the first place as well as a sweeping survey of the liberal religious movements that touted it and ensured its continued vitality. 606 $aSpirituality$zUnited States$xHistory 607 $aUnited States$xReligion 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aSpirituality$xHistory. 676 $a204.0973 700 $aSchmidt$b Leigh Eric$0859154 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910465565103321 996 $aRestless souls$92448753 997 $aUNINA
