Some religions conform to these challenges, if not capitulate to them; some critique or resist them, and some work to transform the modern societies they inhabit.In this unique collection of critical essays, scholars of Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Confucianism, and Native American thought explore the tension between modernization and the family, sexuality, and marriage traditions of major religions in America. Contributors examine how various belief systems have confronted changing attitudes regarding the meaning and purpose of sex, the definition of marriage, the responsibility of fathers, and the status of children. They also discuss how family law in America is beginning to acknowledge certain religious traditions and how comparative religious ethics can explain and evaluate diverse family customs.Studies concerning the impact of religious thought and behavior on American society have never been more timely or important. Recent global events cannot be fully understood without comprehending how belief systems function and the many ways they can be employed to the benefit and detriment of societies. Responding to this critical need, American Religions and the Family presents a comprehensive portrait of religious cultures in America and offers secular society a pathway for appreciating religious tradition.FamiliesReligious lifeReligion and cultureUnited StatesUnited StatesReligionFamiliesReligious life.Religion and culture201/.7Browning Don S1004671Clairmont David A868443MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910777922803321American religions and the family3741778UNINA01597nas 2200361 n 450 99000890246040332120240229084239.01094-2939000890246FED01000890246(Aleph)000890246FED01000890246CNRP 0022575120161109a19989999km-y0itaa50------baengUSauu--------Annual review of political science1998-Palo Alto, CAAnnual Reviews, Inc.2001Annual review of political scienceAnnual review of political science320/.05ITACNP20090723http://acnp.cib.unibo.it/cgi-ser/start/it/cnr/dc-p1.tcl?catno=2105027&person=false&language=ITALIANO&libr=&libr_th=unina1Biblioteche che possiedono il periodicoSE990008902460403321Biblioteca Centralizzata della Facoltà di Sociologia dell'Università di Napoli "Federico II"2002-2005;2003;320.05 INGL 12BFSBFSAnnual review of political science800855UNINA866-01NA078 Biblioteca Centralizzata della Facoltà di Sociologia dell'Università di Napoli "Federico II"320.05 INGL 12vico Monte della Pietà, 1, 80138 Napoli (NA)+39 081 2535850/1+39 081 2535833itacnp.cib.unibo.itACNP Italian Union Catalogue of Serialshttp://acnp.cib.unibo.it/cgi-ser/start/it/cnr/df-p.tcl?catno=2105027&language=ITALIANO&libr=&person=&B=1&libr_th=unina&proposto=NO
