Synopsis
Excerpt from The Religious Condition of Young Men: A Study
The present study was prepared for and read before the General Secretaries of the Young Men's Christian Association, at their biennial conference, held at Thousand Island Park, New York, June 6 - 10, 1900.
AS stated in the context, no special claim is made for the general value of the results secured. If any merit lies in the study, it is in the methods set forth.
Starting with the assumption that to work successfully among young men one must know young men, we have tried to suggest methods for securing such information.
There was no thought at first of printing the Study, at least not until much additional work had been done. Numerous and urgent requests from fellow secretaries and from pastors of different denominations, however, are responsible for its presentation in this form at this time. While additional results might be interesting, enough is probably here presented for purposes of illustration.

The Religious Condition of Young Men: A Study (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book investigates the religious needs and habits of young men through the lens of sociology, reflecting a broader cultural shift in the late 19th century away from traditional religious practice. It argues that focusing on the methods for reaching young men with Christianity was insufficient, and that researchers must first understand who young men are and what they need. The author draws on his own sociological research, as well as the findings of other important thinkers of the time, like William James, to establish that young men are particularly vulnerable to the temptations of modern life, and that the church must adapt to their nature and needs. Ultimately, this book presents a wealth of practical sociological and statistical information on young men, and introduces novel methods for analysing that data. It is a valuable work for those interested in the history of religious thought and sociology, as well as the relationship between young people and religion. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781332331697_0
