Description
Book SynopsisThis is the first attempt to integrate research on the place of religion in adolescent development today and to consider the impact of it on law and social policy making.
Trade ReviewWith charitable choice a cornerstone of the Bush Administration and character education at the center of educational reform, Not by Faith Alone is a timely and balanced look at issues in the use of religious organizations in support for young people and their families. . . . Also goes far toward filling the major gap in knowledge about adolescents' spirituality. Carefully reasoned, Not by Faith Alone will be useful to developmental psychologists, family and education lawyers, and religious educators and scholars. -- Gary B. Melton,Professor and Director of the Institute on Family and Neighborhood Life, Clemson University
