Description
Why has Los Angeles been a hot spot for religious activism, innovation, and diversity? A center of world religions, Los Angeles is the birthplace of Pentecostalism, the site of the largest Roman Catholic diocese in the U.S., the home of more Buddhists anywhere except for Asia, and home base for myriad transnational, spiritual movements.
"The twenty-seven scholarly pieces that make-up Religion in Los Angeles: Religious Activism, Innovation, and Diversity in the Global City are a valuable contribution to what appears to be a growing body of literature examining the relationship between cities and their religious components." - Stephanie L. Derrick, independent scholar
