A recent review by Divinity School alumnus Beau Underwood, MDiv'10, MPP'10, takes up Jesus Springs, the new book by William Schultz, Assistant Professor of American Religions. Published by Word&Way, the review situates Schultz’s work within broader conversations about American spirituality, regional religious cultures, and the enduring role of experimentation in religious life.

Underwood highlights how Schultz traces the movement of religious ideas across landscapes and communities, showing how belief in the United States is shaped as much by place and practice as by doctrine. The review reflects a hallmark of the Divinity School community: sustained dialogue between faculty scholarship and alumni engaged in public, accessible religious analysis.
