Denominationalism--that ''free market'' mode of organizing
religious life which, some say, manages to combine traditional
religious claims with a free society in a peculiarly American
way--is the subject of the previously unpublished papers in this
collection. No institution, the editors argue, is as crucial for
the understanding of American religious life, yet so much in need
of reassessment as the denomination. In a wide-ranging collection
of articles, a distinguished set of commentators on American
religion examine the denomination's past and present roles, its
definable nature, and its evolution over time. The study of
denominations, the authors show, sheds light on broader
understandings of American religious and cultural life. The
contributors--scholars of the Roman Catholic, Protestant, Jewish,
Mormon, and African-American traditions--explore the state and
history of denominational studies in America, suggesting new models
and approaches drawn from anthropology, sociology, theology,
history, and history of religions. They offer provocative case
studies that reimagine denominational studies.
