The Religion of Ethnicity

Belief and Belonging in a Greek-American Community

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The nature of ethnic identity and the church's role in fostering and sustaining it are subjects of this study, first published in 1990. In ultimately focusing on the interplay between church, community and individual, the book suggests that understanding the relation of these people to their church is to understand them as a people.
