Description

In this new book from Robert Wuthnow we follow the lives of ordinary people to see how the past operates to inform the ever changing spiritual life of America. In a nation where people are always reinventing their religious practices, Robert Wuthnow examines the lives of those who grew up religious and returned to religion in later life. He discovers that what brings adults back often has less to do with religious institutions than with the way family and other relations formed around religious practice: memories of mothers, fathers, and neighbors whose everyday acts were imbued with spiritual meaning. Growing Up Religious will resonate for anyone with a religious background and for those seeking to understand the inextricable ties between religion, family, and individual growth.
