From the Publisher:
Concise, yet thorough, this text introduces the vast variety of religious groups and activities - both ecclesial and popular - that make up the American religious picture in the 1990s. It presents the academic study of religion within the context of the humanities - discussing religion in a spirit of mutual exploration and learning, rather than in terms of what is 'right' and 'wrong.'
From the Back Cover:
Key Benefit: This book provides a concise, yet thorough, introduction to the vast variety of religious groups and activities - both ecclesial and popular - that make up the American religious picture in the 1990s. It presents the academic study of religion within the context of the humanities - discussing religion in a spirit of mutual exploration and learning, rather than in terms of what is 'right' and 'wrong.' Key Topics: Describes religious groups and activities, and organizes content into 'consensus' and 'alternative' religions. Covers religion as it is found in churches, synagogues, and temples, as well as movements that are distinctly religious in character, but are not directly related to organized religion. Examines Islam, Hinduism, and Buddhism in the United States; the black church; New Age movement; and feminist spirituality. Pays special attention to women in religion throughout, discusses the Religious Freedom Restoration Act of 1993, and offers thought-provoking discussions on discrimination and prejudice. Expands coverage of the forms of Christianity that began in the US in the 1800s; material on American Civil Religion; a new section on religious change in the 1990s; an examination of public and private Judaism, and the difference and relationship between them. Market: For social workers, psychologists, and school personnel.
