Although there are many studies of Americas most famous literary figure, this thorough investigation provides not only new information on Twains religion, but also a different approach from anything published before. Interpretations of Twain over the past century have been largely the province of literary critics. By skillful textual analysis they have produced an abundance of nuanced studies, but they tend to have little interest in, and knowledge of, the broad religious context of Victorian society, which both angered and intrigued Twain. Phipps provides perceptions often overlooked into the way Clemenss religion was related to such significant issues as racism, imperialism, and materialism. This study takes a close look at his growing up in the slave culture of Missouri Protestants and his subsequent involvement in the radically different abolition culture in which his wire was raised. Like Twain, who aimed at communicating with the common person, Phipps has written in a style that will attract the educated public while providing fresh insights for Twain scholars. His research has taken him to Hannibal, Elmira Hartford, and to the Twain archives in Berkeley. Mostly chronological, the book makes extensive use of Twains works and, often neglected in such studies on Twain, the Bible, his most important literary source.

Mark Twain's Religion is a gem! His unique perspective on faith is both enlightening and humorous. I couldn't put it down and found myself laughing out loud at times. Highly recommend it!

Came Damaged, But Content is Great
The book arrived with a bent cover, which was disappointing. However, the content is fantastic! Twain's takes on religion are sharp and often funny. Just wish the packaging was better.

Interesting Read, But Not For Everyone
I found Twain's insights intriguing, but some parts felt a bit heavy-handed for my taste. Still, it's a great perspective if you're open to different views on faith.

Not What I Expected
I thought this would be a light read, but it dives deep into some complex ideas. The writing is clever, but it took me a while to get through it. Definitely not a quick read!
