Darkness Falls on the Land of Light opens with the story of two families—the Coreys and Holbrooks—who once worshipped side by side in the Sturbridge, Massachusetts, Congregational church but by 1750 no longer experienced religion in commensurate ways as a result of their experiences during the combustive religious revivals of the Great Awakening. The introduction frames the larger argument of the study and defines the key terms of analysis, including the categories of religious experience and religious practices.
