Acknowledgments
This book began as a doctoral dissertation completed at Emory University’s Graduate Division of Religion. I am grateful for the debts I have accumulated along the way and for those people to whom I am indebted. I have to thank, first, the staff, teachers, and colleagues at Emory’s Graduate Division of Religion for possibly the best environment in which to grow as a writer and teacher. In particular, I would like to thank Bobbi Patterson, Tara Doyle, Don Seeman, Sara McClintock, and Timothy Jackson for listening to my questions and ideas and providing much-needed advice. The best of Steven Tipton, Pam Hall, Ellen Ott Marshall, and Elizabeth Bounds are present in this work. Daily I reap the benefits of their caring mentorship. I am very lucky to have been their student. I would also like to thank Emory graduates who, over the years, have provided feedback, friendship, and support, including Jesse Smith,
