BURNING LOVE
Hitting puberty in the heart of the Bible Belt is a weird journey, as Charles Marsh explains in this excerpt from his memoir “Evangelical Anxiety.” His solution was even weirder.
Charles Marsh is the author of Evangelical Anxiety: A Memoir and seven other books including Strange Glory, the award-winning biography of Dietrich Bonhoeffer, and the civil rights classic God’s Long Summer (for which he received the 1998 Grawemeyer Award in Religion). He teaches in the religious studies department at the University of Virginia.
