The Rise of Liberal Religion

Meer over het boek

In 'The Rise of Liberal Religion' Matthew Hedstrom tells the story of how, beginning in the 1920s, American religious leaders joined forces with the publishing industry in an attempt to form a 'spiritual center' - a set of widely accepted religious ideas practices, and presuppositions that would hold together a fragmenting society, create new markets for books, and maintain the privileged status of these arbiters in American religious discourse.
