This book is an investigation into the eccentric forms that faith can take in the United States. While capitalism has always found fertile ground in American Protestantism, recent years have seen the emergence of religious offerings worthy of the best marketing departments. Creationist amusement parks, naturist churches, bicycle preachers, and other oddities offer everyone the opportunity to live their faith as they see fit, within their own community. Cyril Abad's photographs succeed in revealing without judgment, opening unexpected doors, and making a disconcerting reality tangible.
