«Morgan offers a well-researched and provocative exploration of the nineteenth-century roots of centemporary Prostestand engagement with the visual arts.»
American Historical Review, June 2001
«Good history either advances knowledge by exploiting new source material or advances interpretation through creative synthesis. Great history does both. Protestants and Pictures is great history. Readers of David Morgan's other work in American Protestant visual imagery will find in this text the culmination of a research trajectory that has revolutionized the way historians understand visual culture in the nineteenth-century United States.»
