"This book questions religion as a category of politics and allows us to underline the suspicion in which the US authorities hold religions, particularly when it comes to African-Americans. the book is fascinating reading for anyone interested in American religious history, African-American history." -- Olivier Maheo, Archives de sciences sociales des religions"Part ethnography, part deep exploration of previously unexamined archives, Evans's tightly written and fast-paced book is the definitive treatment of the MOVE bombing and the events leading to it." -- Paul A. Anthony, Reading Religion"In sum, Evans's book is a worthwhile read." -- Jacob S. Dorman, The University of Nevada, Nova Religio"Groundbreaking. Evans's chronicle of MOVE's history is both sorely needed and hauntingly timely.

" -- Megan Goodwin, The Revealer"[A] compelling and rich narrative. The book engages political theology, sociology of religion, race and religion, American religious history, and new religious movements. Evans engages questions on ethics, theology, philosophy of religion, and power. As such, a multitude of audiences, both academic and popular, will find the book attractive. I suspect MOVE will become a staple text in several spaces that seek to grapple with big questions related toreligion and civil society." -- Sociology of Religion"Evans's critically important text makes a compelling case that MOVE is essential to understanding American religion in the twentieth century." -- Joseph L. Tucker Edmonds, American Religion"Richard Kent Evans's MOVE: An American Religion operates on several levels vital to today's social and political discourse, both inside and outside the academic community.
