Book
Robert D. Putnam and David E. Campbell · 2010
A sociological examination of how American religion has become increasingly polarized between the highly religious and the secular over the past half century, while paradoxically maintaining high levels of religious tolerance and pluralism. Putnam and Campbell analyze three major societal shocks—the 1960s, the evangelical resurgence, and the rise of the nonreligious—and their effects on American politics and social cohesion.
