Coolness

Today I received my complementary copy of The Encyclopedia of Religious Revivals in America for the transcription work I did for the project. This is a great two-volume resource with entries on revivals and revival type movements from the 1500s to present. The first volume is simply encyclopedia entries, which is well organized and has contributions from top scholars. The second volume is primary documents covering the same time. This, to me, is a great asset to the work because it allows the reader to not only have basic information, but also information originating from that time period, and perhaps by a person with an entry. In addition, there are several amazing bibliographies in the back of the second volume as well as information for locating research materials at archives, denominational contacts, etc. I believe this work will be a serious reference for years to come. Kudos to Dr. Michael McClymond of St. Louis University for heading up this much needed project.

And it was cool to see my name in the acknowledgments section. :)
