Description
Summary:There are few social scientists who have done as much scholarly research on religion as Christian Smith. Over the past three decades, he has interviewed hundreds of people, fielded numerous surveys, and written dozens of books.

Anyone who studies or cares about religion will want to know what he has to say about it.
