Review "Sacred Subdivisions offers a much needed assessment of the attractiveness of megachurches within the postsuburban milieu. Wilford skillfully explains how places like Saddleback remain so attractive to those living in an era of sociospatial fragmentation." Mark T. Mulder Religious Research Association Review"[T]his is a very readable addition to the literature on megachurches and expands our understanding of their influences in American religious life." Stephen Ellingson Nova Religio"This is a brilliant analysis of why postsuburban megachurches, such as Rick Warrens Saddleback Community Church, are growing. Justin Wilford utilizes his training as a geographer to understand the fit between suburban sprawl and postdenominational churches. These liturgically lithe, symbolically flexible, and spatially supple churches are attractive to people living fragmented lives because they mirror the choices available to residents of secular suburbia, while at the same time supplying community, therapeutic insight, and biblicallyinformed language of how to live a purposeful life." Donald E. Miller, Center for Religion and Civic Culture, University of Southern California"Wilford does a great service by highlighting the role of the material and spatial configuration of large evangelical congregations and has simultaneously brought secularization debates into geography and important spatial theory into the sociology of religion." Peter Schuurman Oxford University Press"Sacred Subdivisionsis the first fulllength treatment of the American megachurch phenomenon by a geographer, providing a compelling analysis of how the fragmented & postsuburban context shapes and challenges these large congregations. Author Justin G Wilford notes that of the largest 50 nondenominational (a characteristic that he sees as essential to these congregations) megachurches, all but six are situated on the residential fringe of metropolitan areas a percentage that only increased in the last decade. [Sacred Subdivisions] richly documents, the high degree of adaptability of megachurches (and the fact that there are highly successful ones located in major cities) suggests that they may be able to survive and thrive in landscapes far different than the ones in which they were planted." Richard Cimino Urban Studies"The author, using the literature and theoretical work in cultural geography, makes a strong case that Postdenominational Evangelical (PE) Megachurches must be analyzed not simply as more effective marketers of religious goods, but as innovators in a fragmented and postsuburban social and spatial environment that dictates a new form of meaningmaking relative to religion. As a reviewer (who is not a geographer), I found the text fascinating study. Wilfords grasp of the literature in sociology of religion and in his own discipline is impressive. His willingness to push against old and new paradigms and prejudices was bracing." James K. Wellman Jr.,University of Washington"Wilford writes clearly and makes complex issues quite accessible. Anthropologists of Christianity and contemporary American cities, especially, stand to benefit from the books major insights about the deep entanglements of evangelical religion, late modernity, and the cultural geography of postsuburbia." James S. Bielo Anthropological Quarterly"Wilfords holistic reading of the evangelical landscape provides a new understanding of how megachurches have swept across suburban America." Deborah Justice Marginalia"This book would be an excellent choice for graduate seminars and advanced undergraduate classes on religion or urban studies, in part because of its clear and multidisciplinary discussion of secularization and modernization debates." Sacred Subdivisions"[Sacred Subdivisions] richly documents, the high degree of adaptability of megachurches (and the fact that there are highly successful ones located in major cities) suggests that they may b
