en Limba Engleză Hardback – 7 ian 2005
This study of the religious landscape of Indianapolis the summative volume of the Lilly Endowment s Project on Religion and Urban Culture conducted by the Polis Center at IUPUI aims to understand religion s changing role in public life. The book examines the shaping of religious traditions by the changing city. It sheds light on issues such as social capital and faith-based welfare reform and explores the countervailing pressures of "decentering" the creation of multiple (sub)urban centers and civil religion s role in binding these centers into one metropolis.
