Résumé :
|
Yoga classes and Zen meditation, New-Age retreats and nature mysticismÔÇöall are part of an ongoing religious experimentation that has surprisingly deep roots in American history. Tracing out the countryÔÇÖs Transcendentalist and cosmopolitan religious impulses over the last two centuries, *Restless Souls *explores AmericaÔÇÖs abiding romance with spirituality as religionÔÇÖs better half. Now in its second edition, including a new preface, Leigh Eric Schmidt's fascinating book provides a rich account of how this open-road spirituality developed in American culture in the first place as well as a sweeping survey of the liberal religious movements that touted it and ensured its continued vitality.
