Beskrivning
The Handbook of Contemporary Christianity in the United States is a one-volume examination of Christianity in its role, contributions, and embattled engagements with the contemporary culture of the postmodern United States. While Christianity has been a sustaining force and dominant storyline of the historical foundations of America, obvious social, political, and scientific inroads have lessened its influence and altered the issues considered. The handbook explores the strengths and weaknesses of the Christian faith and traditions in the United States and its rich and textured history with a discernable eye toward how the message, strategies, and initiatives of Christianity has adapted to contemporary American life.

Recensioner i media

This book not only offers a thoughtful critique of the old “Church History” paradigm, but it leads by example in offering a fruitful alternative. Essays bring together the social history of religion in the United States with Christian ethics on contemporary social and political challenges. The result is greater than the sum of its parts, for it offers readers a new set of answers as to why Christianity remains so powerful, and popular, in the contemporary Western world.
