Publisher's Synopsis
Religion and the American Dream is a book written by Raymond C. Knox that explores the relationship between religion and the American Dream. The book examines how religious beliefs and practices have influenced the American Dream, and how the American Dream has in turn shaped religious beliefs and practices. The author argues that religion has played a significant role in shaping the American Dream, from the Puritan work ethic to the prosperity gospel. The book also explores the ways in which religion has been used to justify social and economic inequality in America. Throughout the book, the author draws on a wide range of historical and contemporary examples to illustrate his points, making it a comprehensive and thought-provoking analysis of the complex relationship between religion and the American Dream.This is a new release of the original 1934 edition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
