Gods of the City: Religion and the American Urban Landscape (Religion in North America) Book
"Fascinating insights into modern urban religious practice make Orsi's collection a must-read." -- Publishers Weekly"The essays provide insight into the cultural creativity, reinterpretation of worship and religious ingenuity of city people over the last 50 years." -- Library Journal"At last, a major dissection of the great mystery in modern Americanlife -- how religion and spirituality prospered amidst industrialization,urbanization, and rampant technological change after 1880!" -- Jon Butler, Yale University"Urban religion" strikes many as an oxymoron.
