Recenzii
Clydesdale and Garces-Foley offer a wealth of granular data on American twentysomethings' religious and secular lives. The Twentysomething Soul is written for ministers and leaders in the church on religious affiliated young adults, yet the most significant insights stem from those who do not affiliate with religious institutions and beliefs.
An important contribution to our understanding of young adults today.... The data are high quality, the mixed-methods approach is effective, and the authors do an excellent job weaving the voices of twenty-somethings into their analyses and discussion of results. It is written for a wide audience and surely offers something of value to academics, religious leaders, and the general public.
Through its clear presentation of the findings and insightful analysis, this is a timely book that answers questions in both the public and academic minds.The Twentysomething Soul is an exciting new addition to the sociological literature on religion and young adults and is a must-read for those working in campus or young adult ministry.
For anyone interested in America's twenty-something Christian and spiritual-yet-unaffiliated young adults, this book is a must. The authors approach interviewees with sympathy and a desire for true understanding, as well as a sense that there is more to these twenty-somethings-more empathy, more care for community, more struggle-than our culture gives them credit for. The book is filled with individual portraits, allowing readers to meet a diverse array of America's twenty-somethings, whose commitments to religion and spirituality are much more passionate than we've been led to believe
Clydesdale and Garces-Foley take a fresh look at American twentysomethings, offering a trove of rich and original data on their beliefs, behaviors, and values. The authors argue convincingly that young people are intentional about their commitments, be it to religion or secularism, and are able to live purposeful and reflective lives in a society that often does not support them. While particular interpretations of the data will surely inspire debate, no serious discussion of this generation can ignore this book
Reading this marvelously engaging and well-researched book, I am impressed more than ever that America's twentysomethings are seriously grappling with the hard issues of faith and spirituality as well as the challenges of living in a technologically changing and economically uncertain world. I especially encourage the naysayers among us to read it and learn from it
