New York Glory: Religions in the City by New York University Press (Hardback, 2000)

Is New York a post-secular city? Massive immigration and cultural changes have created an increasingly complex social landscape in which religious life plays a dynamic role. Yet the magnitude of religion's impact on New York's social life has gone unackwledged. This volume gathers together research on religion in contemporary New York City. It includes contributions from every major research project on religion in New York to provide a comprehensive look at the state of religion in the city. Moving beyond broad surveys into specific case studies of communities and institutions, it provides a window onto the diversity of religious life in New York. From Italian Catholics, Mormons, Muslims, and Russian Jews to Zen Buddhists, Rastafarians, and Pentecostal Latis, the volume seeks to capture the richness of religious life and provide a foundation for our understanding of the current and future state of religion in America.
