Beskrivning

A view of urban Catholicism, The Immigrant Church focuses on the people in the pews and furnishes a comparison of Irish and German Catholic life in mid-nineteenth-century New York City. Nearly one-half of the city's population in 1865 consisted of Irish and German Catholics. Singling out three parishes (one Irish, one German, and one a mixed group of Germans and Irish), Dolan examines the role of religion in strengthening group life in these ethnic communities, traces the development of the Catholic Church in the city, and reveals the relationship between urban and church growth.

"A valuable and perceptive portrait of urban Catholicism based on wide research." —Times Literary Supplement"It all makes for a fine introduction to the kind of church history that needs more doing: people-history." —Church History"This important and first-rate book . . . is social history at its best." —Commonweal"Fascinating reading for those interested in ethnicity, immigration, Catholicism, and religion. Indeed, it will make fascinating reading for anyone interested in understanding the heterogeneous but durable American republic as it lumers into its third century." —Journal of American History
