Description

|
This book reflects the results of the turmoil and change in the religions of America since Leo Rosten first wrote about them in the 1950s and 60s. The first section consists of 19 articles by distinguished authorities on the creeds for which each one speaks, from the major established groups to the "charismatic" cults, setting forth clear and candid stories of our own faiths and those of our neighbors. Part Two is the Almanac, a massive compendium containing statistics, public opinion polls, basic documents, sociological résumés and psychological analyses of the roles, conflicts, influences, and trends that characterize religion in the United States.
