Reviews

"Groundbreaking... Evansâs chronicle of MOVE's history is both sorely needed and hauntingly timely." -- Megan Goodwin, The Revealer
"[A] compelling and rich narrative...The book engages political theology, sociology of religion, race and religion, American religious history, and new religious movements. Evans engages questions on ethics, theology, philosophy of religion, and power. As such, a multitude of audiences, both academic and popular, will find the book attractive. I suspect MOVE will become a staple text in several spaces that seek to grapple with big questions related to
religion and civil society." -- Sociology of Religion
