| Summary: | Social class is an integral component of any attempt to understand American religious belief and practice, and it deserves much more scholarly attention than it has received in the past few decades. Such is the central argument of Sean McCloud's Divine Hierarchies. McCloud, an assistant professor of religion and modern culture at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, frames his argument around a thorough review of more than 100 years of past literature on the link between class and religion. He then follows this with a discussion of various perspectives on class and religion as they apply to two Pentecostal congregations, which McCloud observed during a period of several months. |
