The Culture of Catholicism in the United States

Edited by Saskia Hertlein and Hermann Josef Schnackertz.

It was the aim of an international conference on "The Culture of Catholicism in the United States" that was held at the Catholic University of Eichstätt-Ingolstadt, to address the multifaceted character of American Catholicism and to encourage further interdisciplinary investigation into its historical and contemporary dimensions. Topics such as the role of Catholicism in American history; the position of the Church in a multiethnic society; the tension between Catholicism and Americanism; Catholicism in art, literature, and the media; and the history and future prospects of Catholic schools are therefore approached in the essays collected in this volume. 396 Seiten mit 12 Abb., gebunden (American Studies - A Monograph Series; Vol. 213/Universitätsverlag Winter 2011) leichte Lagerspuren/minor shelfwear
