Summary
Ranking Faiths: Religious Stratification in America discusses how religion shapes access to power, privilege, and prestige in the U.S., both historically and today. James D. Davidson and Ralph E. Pyle dispel the idea that the U.S. was founded on theprinciple of religious equality for all, documenting how religion has been a factor in the allocation of power from the colonial period through the present. From the time of the earliest settlements in America through today, the book demonstrates that some religious groups have had more access to economic, political, and social rewards than others.

Summary
"Contemporary American Religion collects qualitative studies of local religious groups by up-and-coming scholars of religion. A combination of ethnography and other sociological methods helps make sense of complex religious communities - from Messianic Jews to evangelical feminists, from Gospel Hour at a gay bar to exurban megachurches. This collection covers a wide scope of the religious landscape, uncovering new theoretical insights. Essential reading for classes in sociology of religion and culture, contemporary American religion, and anthropology of religion."--Jacket.
