The book draws from a unique sixty-year-long study of close to two hundred mostly Protestant and Catholic men and women who were born in the 1920's and interviewed in adolescence, and again in the 1950's, 1970's, 1980's, and late 1990's. Woven throughout with rich, intimate life stories, the book presents and analyzes a wide range of data from this study on the participants' religious and spiritual journeys. A testament to the vibrancy of religion in the United States, In the Course of a Lifetime provides an illuminating and sometimes surprising perspective on how individual lives have intersected with cultural change throughout the decades of the twentieth century.Faith developmentUnited StatesReligion1920s.20th century.america.american religion.catholics.christian history.christianity.comparative religion.cultural change.demographic study.faith and religion.life stories.long term study.nonfiction.personal growth.personal journey.protestants.religion and culture.religious belief.religious experiences.religious lifestyles.religious practices.religious scholars.religious studies.role of religion.spiritual journey.spirituality.theology.us religion.Faith development.200.1/9Dillon Michele1960-791609Wink Paul1952-1678985MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910823944203321In the course of a lifetime4046957UNINA
