Being Catholic in the Contemporary Philippines (eBook, ePUB)

Young People Reinterpreting Religion

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book, based on extensive original research, examines Catholicism in the contemporary Philippines, where it is flourishing. However, the book shows that young people are often adopting a different, more individualised approach to Catholicism centred around a personal and experiential relationship with God, which is frequently out of step with the official position. The book argues that this reinterpreting of religion by young people has the potential to alter fundamentally the nature of Catholicism in the Philippines, but that, nevertheless, young people's new approach involves a solid, enduring commitment and a strong view of their own Catholic, religious identity.
