Growing Up Religious

Praise

Parents trying to raise children committed to religious values, beliefs, and traditions, and clergy who care about nurturing the religious sensibilities of the youth in their congregations, will want to pay attention to Wuthnow’s conclusions. –Lauren F. Winner, Christianity Today

“Wuthnow provides substantial documentation of religion’s contribution to the American genius for living comfortably in contradictory worlds while constructing a consistently integrated culture.” —Publishers Weekly

“The individual stories [in Growing Up Religious] are interesting enough but the overall thesis is fascinating: people who grow up religious form a distinct American subculture, one that may transcend ethnicity and often, but not always, may lead to increased religious toleration.” —Choice
