God and Mammon in America

Informationen zum Autor Robert John Wuthnow is a sociologist who is widely known for his work in the sociology of religion. Klappentext Drawing on a national survey of 2,000 Americans, Robert Wuthnow shows that organized religion in America actually encourages rampant materialism--and that people feel very troubled and ambivalent about this. Wuthnow concludes by giving churches and American society a sharp lesson about overcoming the love of money. Zusammenfassung Drawing on a new survey of more than two thousand working Americans, the author of Christianity in the 21st Century explores the relationship between religious faith and attitudes toward work and money to examine Americans' ambivalence toward materialism and consumerism.
