Traditional ways of living the Christian faith-shaped and guided by
confessional norms-exhibit remarkable staying power in American
religious life. Holding On to the Faith addresses issues related to
the persistence of confessional forms of Christianity in the face
of utilitarian, democratic, evangelical American popular religious
culture. Whereas historians in the twentieth century typically used
terms like "countervailing", "alternative", or "immigrant faith" to
describe confessional Christianity, it is now clear that groups
which have maintained roots in doctrinal, liturgical, and
institutional traditions are an integral part of American life. In
Holding On to the Faith ten scholars of American religion
contribute chapters analyzing the American experience of ecclesial
groups ranging from Eastern Orthodoxy and Roman Catholicism to the
Lutheran, Reformed, Anglican/Episcopal, and even Mennonite
traditions. Editors Douglas A. Sweeney and Charles Hambrick-Stowe
discuss common themes and pose questions for further discussion.
