The work at hand is a complete listing of all extant Shenandoah County marriage bonds from the county's formation until 1850, when the State of Virginia started keeping vital records. All told, Ashby has abstracted the 15,000 oldest Shenandoah County marriages on record, identifying 45,000 brides, grooms, and bondsmen in the process.
“Klassen’s book is much more than a first-rate study of how two churches in Canada positioned themselves within the ostensibly parallel worlds of biomedicine and spiritual healing. It is, at its core, an insightful meditation on the relationship between liberal Protestantism and the project of modernity. A must read not only for students of Christianity, but all those interested in the legacies of secularism and enchantment." —Matthew Engelke, London School of Economics
