Each chapter focuses on a different practice within a particular social and cultural context. The essays explore transformations in American religious culture from Puritan to Evangelical and Enlightenment sensibilities in New England, issues of mission, nationalism, and American empire in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, devotional practices in the flux of modern intellectual predicaments, and the claims of late-twentieth-century liberal Protestant pluralism.Breaking new ground in ritual studies and cultural history, Practicing Protestants offers a distinctive history of American Protestant practice.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
