In sum, this book is a landmark on sociology of religion, also because it is the last book of a very important project. The array of data, expressed in many indicators, typologies, and analyses, makes this book of utmost importance in this area.
In sum, this book is a landmark on sociology of religion, also because it is the last book of a very important project. The array of data, expressed in many indicators, typologies, and analyses, makes this book of utmost importance in this area.
The authors excelled and produced a work that will surely be referenced for years to come.
Back-Pocket God: Religion and Spirituality in the Lives of Emerging Adults, provides a more complex, honest and hopeful view that resists tired narratives of generational warfare.... a refreshing view of the so-called 'millennial' spiritual mindset.
Denton and Flory draw on rich survey and interview data to weave a compellingly nuanced collection of storylines that showcase whether, how, and why religion matters in the lives of emerging adults.... All told, Back-Pocket God provides foundational insight at the same time that it catalyzes fruitful new directions for scholars and religious practitioners.
An indispensable resource for anyone interested in what religion looks like among today's emerging adults.
there are some bright spots in chapters on "Transitions to Adult Life" and "Making Sense of It All" where Denton and Flory conclude that these Emergent Adults have turned away from organized religion and traditional churches. A smaller contingent, the Religiously Committed, cling to their faith in hard times.
Melinda Lundquist Denton is an Associate Professor of Sociology at the University of Texas at San Antonio. Her research examines the intersection of religion and family life in the United States. Her publications include A Faith of Their Own: Stability and Change in the Religiosity of America's Adolescents with Lisa D. Pearce and Soul Searching: The Religious and Spiritual Lives of American Teenagers with Christian Smith. Richard Flory is senior director of research and evaluation at the Center for Religion and Civic Culture at the University of Southern California. He is a sociologist whose research focuses on religious and cultural change, religion and urban life, and the religious and spiritual lives of youth and young adults. He has published several books, most recently, The Rise of Network Christianity: How Independent Leaders are Changing the Religious Landscape.
