Samenvatting
Placing her focus on the membership of the Salvation Army and its transformation as an organization within the broader context of literature on class, labour and women's history, Taiz reveals the character of American working-class culture and religion in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
So strongly associated is the Salvation Army with its modern mission of service that its colourful history as a religious movement is often overlooked. In telling the story of the organization in America, Lillian Taiz traces its evolution from a working-class, evangelical religion to a movement that emphasized service as the path to salvation. When the Salvation Army crossed the Atlantic from Britain in 1879, it immediately began to adapt its religious culture to its new American setting. The group found its constituency among young, working-class men and women who were attracted to its intensely experiential religious culture, which combined a frontier-camp-meeting style with working-class forms of popular culture modelled on the saloon and theatre. In the hands of these new recruits, the Salvation Army developed a remarkably democratic internal culture. By the turn of the century, though, as the Army increasingly attempted to attract souls by addressing the physical needs of the masses, the group began to turn away from boisterous religious expression toward a more ""refined"" religious culture and a more centrally controlled bureaucratic structure. Placing her focus on the membership of the Salvation Army and its transformation as an organization within the broader context of literature on class, labour and women's history, Taiz sheds light on the character of American working-class culture and religion in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
