Synopsis
The year is 1962 and young Weldon Thatcher is coerced by his mother and the local preacher into attending Edenfield College, a Protestant icon and a place straightaway paranoid about influences from the outside world. Though Weldon is fashioned from a childhood of perfect Sunday school attendance, he brings to Edenfield a determined curiosity to know what lies beyond the boundaries of God’s moral code and the stuff of religion. Wresting and exacting, Edenfield is an all-embracing, coming-of-age account of a young man in transition and caught up in the most intricate aspects of faith-based academia, one rooted in the narrowed tenets of fundamentalism: from classroom to dorm room, from prayer meeting to revival meeting, from spirituality to sacrilege, from lust to love—its effects holding sway even after thirty years and well beyond what Weldon thought was his last goodbye. Insightful and forthcoming, Edenfield dares a glimpse into the influences of a denominational institution and those with the conviction of a higher power; a firsthand look at what rails within its walls: what rankles and what inspires, what causes us to seethe and what begs for our forgiveness; what shakes us to the core of our funny bone, and what shamefully fastens itself to those most unsuspecting.
