God-Talk in America

The former religion editor at Publishers Weekly offers a loose pastiche of rapid-fire insights and instinctive responses to the reasons she is convinced America is on the verge of an impending religious reformation. With her gimlet eye fixed on one cultural indicator after another, and a perspective on the development of religious expression from the colonial era to cyberspace, Tickle makes her case that contemporary religion is being shaped more by the streets, cafes, and bedrooms of America than by its seminaries and other institutions of official religion.
