Whereas historians in the twentieth century typically used terms like \"countervailing\", \"alternative\", or \"immigrant faith\" to describe confessional Christianity, it is now clear that groups which have maintained roots in doctrinal, liturgical, and institutional traditions are an integral part of American life. \u003cbr\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eHolding On to the Faith\u003c\/i\u003e ten scholars of American religion contribute chapters analyzing the American experience of ecclesial groups ranging from Eastern Orthodoxy and Roman Catholicism to the Lutheran, Reformed, Anglican\/Episcopal, and even Mennonite traditions. Editors Douglas A. Sweeney and Charles Hambrick-Stowe discuss common themes and pose questions for further discussion.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University Press of America","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54239520981336,"sku":"9780761841326","price":52.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780761841326.jpg?v=1777604447","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/holding-on-to-the-faith","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
