Abstract

Sociology of Religion in America tells the story of the controversies involved in the development of a scientific specialty that often makes news in America. The evidence it presents runs contrary to the many myths about the field. Sometimes viewed by scholars as a backwater, actual evidence from the 1890's to the 1980's shows that sociology of religion had a steady presence in sociology all along. Seen as a force alien to religion by some, it was actually in a mutually supportive relationship with religious organizations. Examining dissertations dating from 1895 to 1959 and scientific articles from the 1960's to the 1980's, Anthony J. Blasi discovers who the major sociologists of religion were and what they did. He traces the field’s previously unknown tradition in community studies, the exigencies of the research institutes, and dramatic changes in the professional associations.

Abstract

'In the Course of a Lifetime ' provides an unprecedented portrait of the dynamic role religion plays in the everyday experiences of Americans over the course of their lives. The book draws from a unique sixty-year-long study of close to two hundred Protestant and Catholic men and women who were born in the 1920s and interviewed in adolescence, and again in the 1950s, 1970s, 1980s, and late 1990s. Woven throughout with rich and intimate life stories, the book presents and analyzes a wide range of data from this study on the participants' religious and spiritual journeys. Michele Dillon and Paul Wink explore how such factors as early life experiences, personality traits, marriage and parenthood, mid-life, retirement, and adversity influenced the participants' religious engagement. In turn, they ask how religion and spirituality relate to well-being, community participation, political attitudes, health, depression, life satisfaction, and the fear of death. A testament to the vibrancy of religion in the United States, 'In the Course of a Lifetime' provides an illuminating and sometimes surprising perspective on how individual lives have intersected with cultural change throughout the decades of the twentieth-century.

Abstract

Whether simply uneasy or downright hostile, the relation between religion and liberal democracy in this country has long been vexed and complex--and crucial to what America is and aspires to be. Amid increasingly contentious exchanges over fundamentalism, abortion rights, secularism, and pluralism, this book reminds us of the critical role that religion plays in the health and well-being of a democracy.

Abstract

America's churches have fallen on hard times. But this crisis is more than economic, says Wuthnow. He points to both the failure of the clergy to confront their financial problems head-on, & their neglect of the real spiritual needs of their congregation.

Abstract

This examination of an important contemporary issue begins with the basic precepts of liberal democracy, and compares rational, secular grounds for decision-making with grounds based on religious conviction.
