Focusing on Twain's religious beliefs, this investigation reveals how they intersect with key societal issues like racism, imperialism, and materialism. It contrasts his upbringing in Missouri's slave culture with the abolitionist values of his wife's background. The author, Phipps, employs a chronological approach and integrates extensive textual analysis from Twain's works and the Bible, offering fresh insights for both general readers and scholars. His accessible writing style aims to engage a broader audience while deepening the understanding of Twain's complex relationship with religion.
