About the Author
Peter Mundey is assistant professor of Sociology at Savannah State University.
For scholars of religion interested in how the sacred plays out in
everyday life and for religious leaders concerned about the threat
of consumerism to their faith communities’ financial well-being,
here is a book filled with arresting information drawn from a
national survey and in-depth interviews. Sacred Consumption offers
information that confirms - and disconfirms - popular assumptions
about consumerism.
