More than a status grounded in material conditions, says McCloud, class also entails relationships, identifications, boundaries, meanings, power, and our most ingrained habits of mind and body. He demonstrates that employing class as an analytical tool that cuts across variables such as creed, race, ethnicity, and gender can illuminate American religious life in unprecedented ways.Social conflictReligious aspectsChristianityReligion and sociologyUnited StatesUnited StatesReligionElectronic books.Social conflictReligious aspectsChristianity.Religion and sociology200.86/20973McCloud Sean870523MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910451626503321Divine hierarchies2476634UNINA
