Reviews

<br> Well-organized and seasoned with enough memorable interviews that lay readers will value it as much as specialists. --Publisher's Weekly <br> Ranks for me as a potential book of the year for 2010. --Beliefnet.com <br> Unlike the nonsense delivered in news magazines and opinion polls, Souls in Transition is serious scholarly research about religion among emerging adults. The sober, fair-minded presentation of evidence about what is and what is not happening among Americans age 18 to 23 is refreshing. --Robert Wuthnow, Princeton University <br> It would be hard to exceed the brilliance of Soul Searching, but Smith and Snell have achieved this feat in Souls in Transition. Through a masterful combination of surveys and interviews the authors illuminate emerging adults' religious beliefs as no one has done before, and also provide numerous insights on how religion is connected to other aspects of their lives. This book is social science at its best and should not be miss
