"The quest culture created by the Baby Boomers has generated a "marketplace" of new spiritual beliefs and practices and of revisited traditions. As Roof shows, some Americans are exploring faiths and spiritual disciplines for the first time; others are rediscovering their lost traditions; others are drawn to small groups and alternative communities; and still others create their own mix of values and metaphysical beliefs.
Spiritual Marketplace charts the emergence of five subcultures: dogmatists, Born-again Christians, mainstream believers, metaphysical believers and seekers, and secularists. Drawing on surveys and in-depth interviews conducted over a decade, Roof reports on the religious and spiritual styles, family patterns, and moral vision and values for each of these subcultures."--BOOK JACKET.
