Divine Hierarchies

More about the book

Exploring the intersection of class and religion, Sean McCloud argues that class transcends mere economic status, embodying identity shaped by representations and relationships. He emphasizes that understanding class as a complex analytical tool reveals deeper insights into American religious life, intersecting with factors like creed, race, ethnicity, and gender. By addressing the often-overlooked role of class, McCloud offers a fresh perspective on how it influences beliefs, boundaries, and power dynamics within religious contexts.
