Over at Collectors Weekly, Jim Linderman gives us an inspirational taste of his amazing collection of old timey religious tracts. You may recall my previous post about Jim’s terrific book and CD package “Take Me To The Water: Immersion Baptism in Vintage Music and Photography 1890-1950.” His new book, Old-Time-Religion, presents his collection of religious ephemera. It’s also the name of Jim’s blog where he showcases the tracts like the two seen above. While some of the fearmongering and artwork is a delight, “most of these now dated screeds are racist, homophobic, and offensive to any religion not one’s own,” Jim says.
