The congregation is a distinctly American religious structure, and
is often overlooked in traditional studies of religion. But one
cannot understand American religion without understanding the
congregation.Volume 1: "Portraits of Twelve Religious Communities"
chronicles the founding, growth, and development of congregations
that represent the diverse and complex reality of American local
religious cultures. The contributors explore multiple issues, from
the fate of American Protestantism to the rise of charismatic
revivalism.Volume 2: "New Perspectives in the Study of
Congregations" builds upon those historical studies, and addresses
three crucial questions: Where is the congregation located on the
broader map of American cultural and religious life? What are
congregations' distinctive qualities, tasks, and roles in American
culture? And, what patterns of leadership characterize
congregations in America?These essays are an indispensable tool for
understanding American congregations and American religion as a
whole.
