Polis Center Series on Religion and Urban Culture
This series aims to make the ideas emerging from innovative projects on religion in American cities available to a wide audience. Individual volumes focus on specific cities, seeking to interpret national or global concerns as they are played out in real-life settings. By viewing broad social issues through the lens of local experience, the studies illuminate the changing relationship between religion and contemporary urban culture in ways that are useful not only for scholars, but also for policy makers, clergy, social service and health care professionals, and the many others who deal daily with religion in its urban context.
