This workbook on cultural diversity provides a much needed perspective on complex and ever-changing concerns in increasingly pluralist American churches. Michael Angrosino sensitively applies anthropological principles to analyze issues that confront Christianity in contemporary culture: age, class, disability, ethnicity, family, gender, language, power, race, and sexuality. Through a series of well-crafted case studies, complete with presentation, analysis and discussion questions, the author draws readers into participatory interaction by people who desire to live out their Christianity in a diverse society. The book is ideal for consciousness-raising seminars in churches and classes geared for training clergy and laity alike.

For groups who use this workbook, there is much to be gained. Religious professionals are not the only audience who stand to benefit...For adult religion classes eager to confront social issues, the workbook offers strong possibilities. Another potential audience for the workbook is America's faith-based colleges and universities. In fact, I am strongly considering it for my own course, Diversity and Inequality, at the Christian liberal arts college where I teach.
