History Matters Brown Bag Lunch

Nancy Ammerman, professor of sociology at Boston University and leading scholar of modern American religion, will lead a discussion on Robert Putnam and David Campbell's recent book, American Grace: How Religion Divides and Unites Us.

American Grace is a innovative study of American religiosity, in all of its paradox and complexity. Campbell and Putnam outline three "seismic shocks" that have profoundly shaped American belief and behavior since the 1960s.
