Reviews:
-
Scholars of religion explore the major trends in religion in the US over the past half century at a level accessible to general readers and nonspecialist scholars and students. The first volume looks primarily at transformations in organized religious life in mainstream and other varieties of Christianity, in religions that are minorities in the US, and among various population groups. The second explores debate and controversy that have risen, such as the political impact of the religious right, abortion, and civil religion. The third considers the retreat into personal spirituality from such perspectives as fiction, film the Internet, and religion in a world of terror. The volumes are paged and indexed separately.

Few encyclopedias (extended studies) could be more needed in America today than this indispesable three-volume set. It should have been made available before the election November 7, 2006, but it will serve as an explanation, or justification, for the results of that election, for spiritual America is still a land without a solid ground to stand on....These three volumes look behind and into every (burning) bush to try to determine why things are what they are....An informed electorate is supposed to be a responsible electorate. These three volumes should help bring about that desired paradise.
