Coleman, The National Catholic Weekly In American Mythos, Wuthnow provides an important reminder that amid the din of the culture wars, our storytelling matters; and that America is a story best told from the bottom up. (Robert K. Vischer Commonweal )Stimulating and . . . disturbing because it challenges the reader to confront some unsettling truths about who we are, what we believe, and what we must do if we are truly to become a great nation. . . . Wuthnow concludes with a call for Americans to engage in reflective democracy, thinking deeply about our values, and how we might better live by them. Highly recommended. (Thomas J. Baldino Library Journal )I cannot sufficiently praise and recommend American Mythos. In its supple mining of data and its perspicacity about American culture and institutions, it ranks with Robert Bellah's Habits of the Heart and Robert Putnam's Bowling Alone as ground-breaking interpretive social science. (John A. Coleman America )Robert Wuthnow carefully examines the narratives that have been instrumental in constructing the cultural identity of the United States....[He] presents a study of the cultural dynamics of American culture that could serve as a model for the studies of other cultures. (Donald J. Dietrich European Legacy )This book contains keen reflections that make it well worth reading. Wuthnow gives a compelling account of the transformation of American society from an era of conformity in the 1950s to an era of good feelings today... American Mythos is a significant contribution, especially to the current debate over immigration. (David Fott Perspectives on Politics )

Wuthnow, Robert Christianity in the Twenty First Century: Reflections on the Challenges Ahead
Oxford University Press, USA 1995 0195096517 / 9780195096514 Paperback Fine n/a Paperback
New. Fine in Publisher's decorated wrappers. Available in our UK premises for prompt dispatch worldwide.Wuthnow, a social science professor and director of the Center for the Study of American Religion at Princeton University, suggests that the eve of the millennium is an ideal moment to consciously address the role of Christianity in the nation's public life in the next century. In addition to facing the problems posed by AIDS, environmental pollution and nuclear weapons, the author argues, the church can expect internal challenges. How will the concept of Christian community be affected by growing emphasis on multiculturalism, and by increasing numbers of those who profess faith but sever ties with religious institutions? Among other topics in this discursive and deeply thoughtful study: the future of fundamentalism and its significance in American culture; the transmission of ethics and values as the nuclear family declines; the role of Christianity in mediating age-old questions about economic disparities as prosperity becomes ever more elusive. Wuthnow combines personal stories with references to scholarly works and to current events, enhancing the relevance of each aspect of his study as he builds to his cautiously optimistic conclusions. Copyright 1993 Reed Business Information, Inc. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title. ... Wuthnow (social sciences and religion, Princeton) offers a believing sociologist's reflections on the role of the church in American society. Specifically, he examines five areas of challenge--institutional, ethical, doctrinal, political, and cultural--and argues that the church needs to consider how best to meet them. Emphasizing the church as community, he examines the role of religion in recent American history, especially fundamentalism and the religious right, in order to consider the kind of role religion can and should play in the future. Overall, Wuthrow offers a positive view of the future of the church. A worthwhile and thought-provoking book for those who take their Christianity seriously. - Augustine Curley, Newark Abbey, Copyright 1993 Reed Business Information, Inc. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
