Chicago has always been the epicenter for urban sociology, and now Numrich and Wedam have put religion definitively in the picture. Conceptually adept and ethnographically rich, this book shows us how congregations are shaped by the spaces in which they are located, and how they in turn shape this constantly evolving city. --Nancy T. Ammerman, Professor of Sociology of Religion, Boston University
