Religion sells

Christian Century, Oct 19, 2004 by Marcia Z. Nelson

Henry Carrigan at T&T Clark invokes the mid-20th century insight of theologian Paul Tillich that "religion is the substance of culture and culture the form of religion." Adds Carrigan: "The vigor in religion publishing is simply helping to make more and more explicit how deeply grounded in religion our cultural forms really are."

Marcia Z. Nelson, who lives in the Chicago area, writes frequently about religion books.
