American Congregations V 2 – New Perpsectives in the Study of Congregations (The Congregational History Project) - Hardcover
Synopsis
Building upon the empirical foundation provided by the historical studies in the first volume of this project, this book brings together historians, sociologists, theologians and ethicists for an interdisciplinary conversation on the study of American congregations. The essays in this volume address three general questions: where is the congregation located on the broader map of American culture and religious life?; what defines congregations - what are their distinctive qualities, practices, tasks and roles in American culture?; and what patterns of leadership and organization characterize congregations in America? The contributors argue that the congregation is crucial to our understanding of religion in America and that congregational studies deserve a central place in research and teaching on American religion.

From the Back Cover
'These essays greatly enhance our understanding of the ways in which congregations have been changing in response to their social surroundings. Against the hoopla of 'church growth' specialists, the authors of this volume present a sober analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of contemporary congregations. They demonstrate that maintaining a spiritual presence is a complicated business--and that we should not be deceived into thinking that numeric growth is the sine qua non of a successful ministry.' Robert Wuthnow, Princeton University.
