"At last, a major dissection of the great mystery inmodern American
life -- how religion and spirituality prospered amidstindustrialization,
urbanization, and rampant technological change after1880!" -- Jon Butler, Yale University
"Urban religion"strikes many as an oxymoron. How can religion thrive in the alienated, secular, fast-paced, and materialistic world of the modern, Western city? The authors in thiscollection believe that cities not only can provide the settings for religiousexpression, but also are material to the experiences which give rise to thosereligious expressions. In this book, they explore the distinctly urban forms ofreligious experience and practice that have developed in relation to the spaces, social conditions, and history of American cities.
