Book Summary
A master historian traces the flourishing of organized religion in Manhattan
between the 1880s and the 1960s, revealing how faith adapted and thrived in the
supposed capital of American secularism.
In Gilded Age Manhattan, Catholic, Jewish, and Protestant leaders agonized over
the fate of traditional religious practice amid chaotic and multiplying
pluralism. Massive immigration, the anonymity of urban life, and modernity's
rationalism, bureaucratization, and professionalization seemingly eviscerated
the sense of religious community.
Yet fears of religion's demise were dramatically overblown. Jon Butler finds a
spiritual hothouse in the supposed capital of American secularism. By the 1950s
Manhattan was full of the sacred. Catholics, Jews, and Protestants peppered
