Book Summary
The American Spiritual Culture is a work of constructive theology that is wide-ranging in scope, combining cultural commentary, rich historical illustrations, and theological-philosophical insights. William Dean's insightful meditation on what he calls "the Ultimate" in American culture has already won high praise: Who is God and what has God to do with Americans? Hard questions. But William Dean has explored them with insight and originality, opening up ways of thinking that had seemed closed and looking for light in places most scholars of religion would never look; jazz, football, and the movies.--Robert Bellah, emeritus professor of sociology, University of California, Berkeley and co-author of Habits of the Heart and The Good Society.
