Abstract
Exception is taken to the adequacy of the prevailing sociological view that the function of Holiness religion is to offer underprivileged groups an emotional and other-worldly escape from the realities that beset them. This article presents evidence for the view that Holiness religion may also function as an agency of the socialization of the lower class in the dominant values of American society.Keywords
