Labor Evangelicals

Faith, Authority, and Resistance at Work

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Labor Evangelicals studies theologically conservative working class evangelicals in the United States who resist the common preconception that they eagerly embrace deregulation, unfettered markets, and globalized capital. Methodologically, this book studies evangelical workers at the grassroots level to discern the complexity of their perspectives about work, unions, class, and power. This book shows how white and African American evangelicals think about labor in working-class communities in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania and Moncure, North Carolina.
