More about the book
Challenging the idealized view of the 1950s as a time of social harmony and spiritual clarity, this narrative explores the underlying spiritual struggles of the decade. Robert Ellwood delves into the complexities of religious life, revealing a period marked by conflict and discontent rather than the nostalgia often associated with it. Through this examination, the book invites readers to reconsider the true nature of spirituality and societal norms during a time frequently romanticized in American culture.
