Both current and historically contextualized, this book presents an accessible, balanced, and detailed overview of this influential and complex faith community.

Gillis balances the perspectives of clergy and laity, Catholics of various racial and ethnic backgrounds, official teachings and how people interpret them on the ground. This book would be an excellent option for classes on Catholicism or religion in America more broadly. * Reading Religion *
