Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book is a gathering of source materials offering an organized glimpse into the historical landscape of various denominational groups in Chicago and their corresponding activities. The publication chronicles the origin of several specific religious traditions and their early organizational development. Also examined is the complex and dynamic relationship of the Catholic, Jewish, Evangelical, and other Protestant faiths to missions, social services, and the wider community. This book is an essential resource for students of American religious history. It insightfully demonstrates that although religious organizations in Chicago have functioned as vehicles of social integration, they have also fragmented society along lines of ecclesiastical affiliation. Despite these group divisions, many religious groups in Chicago have endeavored to promote neighborhood cohesion and nurture the overall wellbeing of the city's communities. The book thereby encourages a deeper examination of the role of religion in shaping Chicago's distinctive social and religious landscape.
