Modern American Religion, Volume 3 1941-1960 Martin Marty Published by American Religious History

Author: Martin Marty

Publisher: American Religious History

Description:
(PUBUniversity of Chicago)'Will become a standard account of the nation's variegated religious culture during the current century. These volumes, the fruition of decades of research, may rank as much-honored Marty's most significant contribution to the U.S. studies. Displays the trademark Marty strengths: nimble syntheses of large chunks of material, wry analysis, a sure eye for telling quotes and anecdotes,'---Time.
In the first truly critical history of these tumultuous years, Marty comments on how churches tried to provide national unity during the distressing days of WW II; how religious organizations opposed the communist threat during the Cold War; how the suburbanization of white America in the 50s fostered the ecumenical movement and the desire for consensus; how civic religion revived under Eisenhower.
Marty is especially adept at intellectual history, quotes extensively from primary sources, annotates collateral reading for nearly every paragraph, and blends individual biographical vignettes into an interpretative story line. He follows Niebuhr in seeing irony as a significant key to the past, for leading religious figures produced results far different than they had anticipated. 528 pages, hardcover.
