A Faith of Their Own: Stability and Change in the Religiosity of America's Adolescents
Pearce, Lisa (Associate Professor of Sociology, Associate Professor of Sociology, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill)
Although cultural presumptions suggest that American teenagers and young adults turn away from religion, this volume demonstrates that religion is in fact an influential force in the lives of most American adolescents. Gathering together a complicated set of storylines, Pearce and Denton demonstrate a wide variety of youth religious activity, from assent to atheism. A Faith of Their Own breaks new ground in the sociological study of religion by providing newmodels of religiosity and religious change.
