Whitney explains in fascinating detail how the Bible was the hinge on which Edwards’s piety turned. All Edwards’s spiritual practices, including meditation, prayer, fasting, solitude, and journaling, were formed out of his understanding of scripture. Edwards expected that his congregation should practice all the same disciplines of piety that he completed on a regular basis, relenting only on the amount of time that he expected each person to be able to devote toward these activities. The difficulty that Edwards had in transferring his expectations of piety to his congregation in Northampton is one of the major reasons why he was ultimately fired by his church in 1750 and forced to move to the remote frontier village of Stockbridge, Massachusetts, until being installed as the college president at Princeton in 1758.}, number={1}, journal={CATHOLIC HISTORICAL REVIEW}, author={Bivins, Jason}, year={2017}, pages={156–157} }

 @article{bivins_2012, title={Tri-Faith America: How Catholics and Jews Held Postwar America to Its Protestant Promise}, volume={98}, ISSN={["0021-8723"]}, DOI={10.1093/jahist/jar557}, abstractNote={American culture has recently seen long-standing battles over religiosity in public life acquire renewed urgency. Kevin M. Schultz's important book seeks to document a history of the cultural and discursive formations he calls “Tri-Faith America,” which elude conventional pluralist histories. His study follows a succession of public events or debates through which Tri-Faith is produced as a civic good. By looking to debates shaping religious cooperation and sentiments, Schultz reveals not only an important texture to American self-understandings but he also demonstrates compellingly how Tri-Faith's changes over time form a new historical context for understanding freshly our contemporary agonisms. The story takes place in courts, federal publicity campaigns, suburbs, frat houses, and surveys, culminating in Tri-Faith's engagement with the civil rights movement. Tri-Faith's emergence “challenged the nation in unexpected ways” (displacing Christian nationalism) (p. 7). And its normativity allowed otherwise marginal developments to gain traction (e.g., minority rights and a second disestablishment). Beginning with the Presbyterian minister Everett Clinchy's opposition (in his 1934 book All in the Name of God ) to “cultural monism” as a kind of authoritarianism, Tri-Faith advocates were among the first to value “difference” as a civic good (p. 17). Interfaith associations exemplified how “goodwill became a cause in itself” (p. 28). And broad governmental and military support emerged for new values such as the “brotherhood of man” and a “God of righteousness and love” (p. 45). Schultz demonstrates that the very pliability of those terms fostered both collegiality and animosity. As Tri-Faith became normative it ushered in a politics of recognition that moved away from material issues, and its privileging of religious identity downplayed racism.}, number={4}, journal={JOURNAL OF AMERICAN HISTORY}, author={Bivins, Jason C.}, year={2012}, month={Mar}, pages={1194–1195} }

Investigations of “belief,” I argue, are also occasions to explore the discipline’s less obvious investments in intellectual and institutional traditions still shackled to the very category under scrutiny. The stand-alone category “religion” that is so central to political culture and disciplinary formation depends on “belief” to facilitate recognition. Thus, while Religious Studies now habitually discredits “belief” as a ubiquitous analytical category, it also partly depends on “belief’s” presences for its disciplinary self-justification.}, number={1}, journal={METHOD & THEORY IN THE STUDY OF RELIGION}, author={Bivins, Jason C.}, year={2012}, pages={55–63} }

Exploring the implications of Zora Neale Hurston's ‘lying up a narrative,’ this piece suggests that a series of narrative, curricular, and theoretical commitments produce a particular kind of ‘religion’ as normative in the study of American religions. As the narrative of post-denominational pluralism has become normative, a discursive ambivalence has been produced wherein a liberal, identitarian conception of religion coexists awkwardly with a radical suspicion of the analytical limits of ‘religion’ as an object of study. Identifying the different nodes of this ambivalence, this essay suggests that scholars might move beyond analytical repetition or paralysis by pluralizing method, genre, and style.}, number={3}, journal={Religion}, publisher={Informa UK Limited}, author={Bivins, Jason C.}, year={2012}, month={Jul}, pages={395–407} }

 @article{bivins_2010, title={Witnessing Suburbia: Conservatives and Christian Youth Culture}, volume={78}, ISSN={["0002-7189"]}, DOI={10.1093/jaarel/lfp088}, abstractNote={Luhr, an Assistant Professor of history at California State Long Beach, has written an important contribution to studies of evangelical culture and politics entitled Witnessing Suburbia: Conservatives and Christian Youth Culture. Her ambitious book examines the resonances among political evangelicalisms, suburban conservatism, post-1960's youth (sub-)cultures, and identities crafted through resistance. Part of a growing literature that takes into account an “expanded understanding of political action” (171), Luhr's text contends that “an interrogation of political inventions over public space tells only part of the story of how believers sought to protect their surroundings” (161). In substantiating these claims, Luhr takes in a great deal of material. Although some of her claims would have benefited from greater comparative and theoretical depth, the book is nonetheless an innovative and compelling contribution to the field. Luhr begins her account by noting the elision of two types that are central to the American imaginary (the maverick and the square, Elvis and Pat Boone). The emergence of rock itself, she claims, both solidified and challenged a certain normative model of (suburban) community, one in which conservative evangelicalism was transformed following the 1950s. Yet aside from oft-studied subjects such as Cold War domesticity and religious “influences” in popular culture, what compels Luhr are the appropriations of pop strategies of style and subculture in a broader “conversion mission to American society” (5). Although Luhr rightly notes (citing R. Laurence Moore and Colleen McDannell) that similar strategies have a long history in the United States, she carefully defines the way in which successive generations of evangelical activists—working in between demonological and quietist positions—have met and wrestled with popular culture on its own ground.}, number={1}, journal={JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN ACADEMY OF RELIGION}, author={Bivins, Jason C.}, year={2010}, month={Mar}, pages={293–296} }

The result of these processes is a ‘polymorphous discourse’ whereby each religious community seeks to establish command over this range of ideas and issues in order to curtail or delegitimise the activities of the other. This ‘strategy of alterity’ shapes the way these communities understand each other, how they narrate American religious history, and how they experience political order.
