Religious Vitality in Christian Intentional Communities

A Comparative Ethnographic Study

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Using ethnographic research methods, this book examines the religious vitality of two Christian intentional communities. The book argues that explanations of religious vitality are irreducible to one another, concluding that explanations of religious vitality exist in a nexus, rather than previously conceived cause and effect relationships.
