Soul Searching: The Religious and Spiritual Lives of American Teenagers
Smith, Christian (Stuart Chapin Distinguished Professor of Sociology, Stuart Chapin Distinguished Professor of Sociology, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill)
In most discussions and analyses of American teenage life, one major topic is curiously overlooked-religion. Yet most American teens say that religious faith is important in their lives. What is going on in the religious and spiritual lives of American teenagers? What do they actually believe? What religious practices do they engage in? Do they expect to remain loyal to the faith of their parents? Or are they abandoning traditional religious institutions in searchof a new, more "authentic" spirituality? Answering these and many other questions, Soul Searching tells the definitive story of the religious and spiritual lives of contemporary American teenagers. It reports the findings of The National Study of Youth and Religion, the largest and most detailed suchstudy ever undertaken. Chock full of carefully interpreted interview data and solid survey statistics, Soul Searching reveals many surprising findings. For example, the authors find that teenagers are far more influenced by the religious beliefs and practices of their parents and other adults than is commonly thought. They challenge the conventional wisdom that many teens today are "spiritual seekers." And they show that greater teenage religious involvement is significantly associated withmore positive adolescent life outcomes.
