Religious Change and Continuity Across Generations: Passing on Faith in Families of Six European and North American Nations

Edited by Merril Silverstein; Christel Gärtner and Maria T. Brown, Lexington Press

This volume brings together scholars of religious studies, secularism, and family science to examine how religion is passed down the generations in six European and North American nations. Taking a social change perspective within the context of family socialization theory, the authors treat intergenerational change and continuity in religion and spirituality as occurring under specific national and historical conditions.
