Description
Résumé:James K. Wellman describes the worldviews of Protestant liberal and evangelical subcultures exemplified in vital congregations (growing numerically and financially) in the Pacific Northwest. He argues for the integrity of each worldview, delineates their inner logic and mutual antagonisms, and considers their implications for the fortunes of these two subcultures in U.S. Protestantism both nationally and regionally. The description is shaped by his theory of religion—a coherent symbolic narrative system, including core moral claims, that generates “symbolic and social boundaries” and guides choices (34).
