Alasdair MacIntyre   Growing Up Religious, by Robert Wuthnow
American religious life is in ferment, not decline. The changes
range from the increasing religious diversity brought by new
immigrant groups, through the ebbing importance of
denominations, to the impact of large, often independent
megachurches on the worship, music styles and ministries of all
kinds of churches. No one has helped us understand this ferment
better than Robert Wuthnow.   Dependent Rational Animals, by
Alasdair MacIntyre  Are humans really different from animals
and, if so, how? And what difference does the answer make for
our understanding of human morality? Through questions such as
these, Alasdair MacIntyre brings his philosophy into dialogue
with recent studies of dolphins, gorillas and other animals.
