Given the modern pluralistic world we live in, why is evangelicalism so popular? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBased on a national telephone survey and more than three hundred personal interviews with evangelicals and other churchgoing Protestants, this study provides a detailed analysis of the commitments, beliefs, concerns, and practices of this thriving group. Examining how evangelicals interact with and attempt to influence secular society, this book argues that traditional, orthodox evangelicalism endures not despite, but precisely because of, the challenges and structures of our modern pluralistic environment. This work also looks beyond evangelicalism to explore more broadly the problems of traditional religious belief and practice in the modern world. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWith its impressive empirical evidence, innovative theory, and substantive conclusions, \u003ci\u003eAmerican Evangelicalism\u003c\/i\u003e will provoke lively debate over the state of religious practice in contemporary America.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Christian Smith\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0226764192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780226764191\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Chicago Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/16\/1998\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 324\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.98lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 6.08w x 0.73d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/1998","brand":"Christian Smith","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48587612750079,"sku":"9780226764191","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2f6c0bfb-18b1-4efb-af99-7e153aff6001.jpg?v=1780169265","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/american-evangelicalism-christian-smith-9780226764191","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
