Today, that sustaining mission has never been more challenged. Will young people have a faith to guide them? How can faith traditions anchor religious attachments in this secular, skeptical culture? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe fruit of a historic gathering of scholars and religious leaders across three faiths and many disciplines, this important book reports on the religious lives of young people in today's world. It's also a unique inventory of creative and thoughtful responses from churches, synagogues, and mosques working to keep religion a significant force in those lives. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe essays are grouped thematically. Opening the book, Melchor Sanchez de Toca and Nancy Ammerman explore fundamental issues that have an impact on religion--from the cultural effects of global consumerism and personal technology to pluralism and individualism. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn Part Two, leading investigators present three leading studies of religiosity among young people and college students in the United States, illuminating the gap between personal values and organized religion--and the emergence of new, different forms of spirituality and faith. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHow religious institutions deal with these challenges forms the heart of the book--in portraits of \"best practices\" developed to revitalize traditional institutions, from a synagogue in New York City and a Muslim youth camp in California to the famed French Catholic community of the late Brother John of Taizé. Finally, Jack Miles and Diane Winston weave the findings into a broader perspective of the future of religious belief, practice, and feeling in a changing world. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFilled with real-world wisdom, Passing the Faith will be an essential resource for anyone seeking to understand what religions must, and can, do to inspire a vigorous faith in the next generation.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJames L.
