Hippies of the Religious Right

This book contributes significantly to understanding the fervent supernaturalism evident in American public life today.

~Amanda Porterfield, Robert A. Spivey Professor of Religion and Director of Graduate Studies, Florida State University

Shires shows how some countercultural values from the 1960s era survive in the motivations of participants in what would seem an entirely different social movement, socially activist evangelical Protestantism. His well-documented case is original and provocative.

~CHOICE

Hippies of the Religious Right is an important resource because of the information that it provides on the Jesus movement, a short-lived evangelical subgroup that unfortunately has received little attention from historians.
