Out of Many Faiths, 2nd Edition

“Building on his prowess as an interfaith pioneer in American colleges, Patel offers a vision of pluralism that aims to guard against religious preference and particularism, advances everyday ethics, and invites Americans of many religious persuasions into civic participation… . Readers will be rewarded with Patel’s rich perspective on religious diversity in America as he champions the strength of its civic identity and the possibility of religious pluralism in the years to come.” * Publishers Weekly, starred review *
“Patel provides a thoughtful and passionate response to contemporary social and civic ills grounded in his experience as a Muslim American… . For a compelling portrait of pluralistic optimism in the early decades of the twenty-first century, sociologists of religion in America could ask for no better primary source.”—Elizabeth Dolfi, Sociology of Religion
“Patel portrays civil religion as a potluck supper where the food on the table diversifies and palate widens as demographics change but lately from the countryside to the inner city, the unchanging inventory of food items placed on top of grocery store shelves and behind a fast food restaurant counters feeds Americans.”—Sher Afgan Tareen, Politics, Religion, & Ideology
