Review:
"These rich and subtle papers demonstrate that generation X is neither Western civilization's deliverance nor its nemesis."
-Alan Aldridge, "American Journal of Sociology
..."provides a typology that helps readers understand GenXers and their religious needs.."
-"Religious Studies Review, October 2001, volume 27 number 4
"Each chapter is unique, interesting reading and includes specific references for that particular case study (from Christian Tattoo parlors to a Friday Night Live Shabbat service).."
-"Religious Studies Review, October 2001, volume 27 number 4
""GenX Religion is a fascinating foray into the spiritual expression of a varied group of youthful seekers... The book's editors... offer illuminating chapters that attempt to define Gen-Xers and posit a theory of their religion... the book is an engrossing look at the colorful way in which Gen-Xers are making an unconventional mark on the American religious landscape."
-Teresa Watanabe, "Los Angeles Times
"GenX Religion looks deep into the gap between traditional by-the-book churches and solitary postmodern spirituality to find a thriving world of youthful religious gatherings-a Christian tattoo parlor, a Baptist nightspot, a Latino drama troupe, a Korean students' Bible study, Sunday services for hip African Americans, shabbat and schmoozing for Jewish singles, committed fellowships and casual associations-with hardly anyone over thirty! This is a fascinating book."
-R. Stephen Warner, University of Illinois at Chicago
