| Summary: | Jon Butler's God in Gotham: The Miracle of Religion in Modern Manhattan affirms what historians of religion have long known and some urban historians have begun to discover - that few things in American history have survived so well as religion. Political moments and social movements have come and gone. Fashions have fallen out of favor; fads have faded. But that thing that we call "religion" - however defined, theologically, experientially, or institutionally - has survived, even thrived, particularly in American cities and perhaps most particularly in America's largest city, New York. |
