In this work of sociology of religion, Cowan explains the dynamics operating in the formation and development of conservative reform and renewal groups within four Protestant mainline denominations: the Presbyterian Church (USA), the United Methodist Church, the Episcopal Church (USA), and the United Church of Canada. He explores the legal, experiential, and theological responses to some precipitous moment within denominations that brings about the organization of renewal or reform groups....Recommended. Graduate students, researchers, and faculty.
