This compilation presents interviews and commentary on the lives of six contemporary American religious figures. Methodist minister Walker Railey and TV evangelist Jimmy Swaggart have wrestled with their demons. Atheist Madalyn Murray O'Hair and satanist Anton LaVey have gone against traditional American morality and achieved notoriety. The two most intriguing spiritual figures profiled here are Will Campbell, an iconoclastic Protestant, and Matthew Fox, a renegade priest. Standing outside mainstream Christianity, these two, in Wright's eyes, have become prophets in the wilderness. Saints & Sinners achieves its goal of offering a small glimpse of the varied spiritual terrain in contemporary America.
