Title: Contemporary American Religion: An Ethnographic Reader
Description: "Contemporary American Religion collects qualitative studies of local religious groups by up-and-coming scholars of religion. A combination of ethnography and other sociological methods helps make sense of complex religious communities - from Messianic Jews to evangelical feminists, from Gospel Hour at a gay bar to exurban megachurches. This collection covers a wide scope of the religious landscape, uncovering new theoretical insights.

Essential reading for classes in sociology of religion and culture, contemporary American religion, and anthropology of religion."--BOOK JACKET.
