New Faiths, Old Fears: Muslims and Other Asian Immigrants in American Religious Life

Bruce B. Lawrence

3.4/5 ( ratings)

Now a leading scholar asks how these new faiths have changed or have been changed by the pluralist face of American civil society and by the deep-rooted American ambivalence toward foreign traditions.
