Them That Believe: The Power and Meaning of the Christian Serpent-Handling Tradition
Ralph Hood
Although outlawed in many states, serpent handling remains an active religious practice - and one that is far more stereotyped than understood. This book not only explores facets of this religious practice but also provides a analysis of this phenomenon from historical, social, religious, and psychological perspectives.
