Contemporary American Religion an Ethnographic Reader
- Binding: Paperback
- Publisher: Rowman & Littlefield Pub Inc
- Publish date: 11/01/1997
Description:
No single narrative or theory can describe the varieties of religious experience in North America today. The tidy dichotomies of liberal/conservative, public/private, local/global, and renewal/secularization make little sense once specific congregations are examined closely. To understand the shifting boundaries of contemporary religious expressions, new tools are needed.
Expand description
Contemporary American Religion collects qualitative, on-the-ground studies of local congregations by up-and-coming religious scholars. Ethnography combined with more traditional sociological methods, help make sense of complex religious communities -- from Messianic Jews to evangelical feminists, from Gospel Hour at a gay bar to exurban megachurches. This collection covers a wide span of the religious landscape, always trying to uncover new theoretical insights. Essential reading for classes in sociology of religion, contemporary American religion, and anthropology of religion.
