About this Episode

What do Charles Finney, Ellen G. White, and Joseph Smith have in common? They come from the "Burned-Over District." From revival tents to utopian communes, Michael Horton, Justin Holcomb, Walter Strickland, and Bob Hiller explore how 19th-Century upstate New York became ground zero for America's religious experiments.
