The New Anti-Catholicism - The Last Acceptable Prejudice

Zusatztext Overall, The New Anti-Catholicism is an insightful, highly readable, and disturbing expose of anti-Catholicism in contemporary America. While it might leave the reader with questions about the 'new'-ness of the current anti-Catholicism and how that anti-Catholicism fits into the opinion held by many secularists and liberals of Christianity in general, perhaps that is not such a bad thing. Informationen zum Autor Philip Jenkins, one of the world's leading religion scholars joined Baylor University's Institute for Studies of Religion as Distinguished Professor of History and Co-Director for the Program on Historical Studies of Religion. His books include Pedophiles and Priests: Anatomy of a Contemporary Crisis, Mystics and Messiahs: Cults and New Religions in American History, and The Next Christendom: The Coming of Global Christianity. Klappentext Anti-Catholicism has a long history in America, and as Philip Jenkins argues in The New Anti-Catholicism, this virulent strain of hatred¿once thought dead¿is alive and well, but few people seem to notice, or care. Jenkins shines a light on anti-Catholic sentiment in American society and illuminates its causes, looking closely at gay and feminist anti-Catholicism, anti-Catholic rhetoric and imagery in the media, and the anti-Catholicism of the academicworld. Zusammenfassung Anti-Catholicism has a long history in America.
