Book announcement - The Conflict Between Secular and Religious Narratives in the United States

Book announcement - The Conflict Between Secular and Religious
Narratives in the United States

The Conflict Between Secular and Religious Narratives in the United
Statesby John Sumser has been published by Lexington Books. Sumser uses
the theory of social construction and the philosophy of Ludwig
Wittgenstein to examine the current divide between religious and secular
narratives in the United States. Sumser analyzes how Americans apply
religious and secular reasoning to contemporary social problems, and
explains the resurgence of religious worldviews and the simultaneous
growth of an assertive form of atheism in America. The book is
recommended for scholars of communication studies, religious studies,
sociology, philosophy, and history.
