The Noise of Solemn Assemblies: Christian Commitment And The Religious Establishment In America
Organized religion offers a symbolic integration of the varied elen1ents of American society; it infuses political institutions with religious symbolism; and by way of personal adjustment and psychological integration.
But these useful services to the establishment leave out the essence of a twentieth-century response to the God who stands over against our society in judgment. Personal commitment, theological construction, and the relating of the Christian faith to the real problems of our world are the tasks which the author considers in practical detai1.
This sociologist's study, written for the National Student Christian Federation, provides study groups with a basis for a really fresh look at the Christian mission in America.
