Recenzii

"Wuthnow s book is a useful primer for someone interested in a quick read about the impact of Christianity on the civil society." "The two most interesting aspects of this book are Wuthnow s reflections on the growing importance of small-group activity, and his chapter on multiculturalism and religious diversity." Ed Wojcicki, University of Illinois, reviewing for St. Anthony Messenger, July 1998--Sanford Lakoff "St. Anthony Messenger "

Textul de pe ultima copertă

In this book, well-known author Robert Wuthnow considers three aspects of the relationship between Christianity and civil society: whether civil society is in jeopardy and what effects Christianity's declining influence has on civil society; whether Christians can be civil in the face of conflicts that have arisen among religious groups in the public arena and the so-called culture wars that many in the media have been discussing; and growing multiculturalism in the United States, how Christians are responding to this new diversity, and how Christianity can regain a critical voice for itself in these debates.

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
Addresses the crisis of modern democracy evident in the decline of the institutions of civil society. Drawing upon social and political reflection found in the Catholic and Neo-Calvinist traditions, it mounts a defense of the identity and value of the social institutions that serve as the connective tissue of a political community.
