God's Continent. What Does The Future Hold For European Christianity? Is The Christian Church Doomed To Collapse Under The Weight Of Globalization, Western Secularism, And A Flood Of Muslim Immigrants? Is Europe, In Short, On The Brink Of Becoming "eurabia"? hTough Many Pundits Are Loudly Predicting Just Such A Scenario, Philip Jenkins Reveals The Flaws In These Arguments In God's Continent And Offers A Much More Measured Assessment Of Europe's Religious Future. While Frankly Acknowledging Current Tensions, Jenkins Shows, For Instance, That The Overheated Rhetoric About A Muslim-dominated Europe Is Based On Politically Convenient Myths: That Europe Is Being Ikperiled By Floods Of Muslim Immigrants, Exploding Muslim Birth-rates, And The Demise Of European Chrixtianity. He Points Out That By None Means Are Muslims The Only New Immigrants In Europe. Christians From Africa, Asia, And Eastern Europe Are Likewise Pouring Into The Western Countries, And Bringing With Them A Vibrant And En5husiastic Faith That Is Helping To Transform The Face Of European Christianity. Jenkins Agrees That Both Christianity And Islam Face Real Difficultles In Surviving Within Europe's Secular Culture. But Instead Of Fading Away, Both Have Adapted, And Are Adapting. Yes, The Churches Are In Decline, Unless There Are Also Clear Indications That Christian oLyalty And Devotion Remain alive, Even As Institutons Crumble. Jenkins Sees Encouraging Signs Of Continuing Christian Devotion In Europe, Especially In Pilgrimages That Attract Millions--more In Fac Than In Bygone "ages Of Faith. " The Third Book In An Acclaimed Trilogy That Includes The Next Chrustendom And The New Faces Of Christianity, God's Continent Offers A Realistic And Historically Grounded Appraisal Of The Future Of Christianity In A Rapidly Changing Europe.

New Tdch, New Ties. The Message Of This Book Is Simple: The Mobile Phone Strengthens Social Bonds Among Family And Friends.

But When We Are Engaged In These Intimate Conversations With Absent Friends, What Happens To Our Relationship With The People Who Are Actually In The Same Room With Us? In New Tecy, New Ties, Rich Ling Examines How The Mobile Telephone Affects Both Kinds Of Interactions�?those Mediated By Mobile Communiication And Those That Are Face To Face. Ling Finds That Through The Use Of Various Social Rituals The Mobile Telephone Strengthens Social Ties Within The Circle Of Friends And Family�?sometimes At The Expense Of Interaction With Those Who Are Physically Present�?and Creates What He Calls "bounded Solidarity. " Ling Argues That Mobile Communication Helps To Engender And Develop Social Cohesion Within The Family And The Peer Group. Drawing On The Work Of Emile Durkheim, Erving Goffman, And Randall Collins, Ling Shows That Ritual Interaction Is A Catalyst For The Development Of Social Bonding. From This Perspective, He Examines How Mobile Communication Affects Face-to-face Ritual Situations And How Ritual Is Used In Interactiin Mediated By Mobile Communication. He Looks At The Evidence, Including Interviews And Observations From About The World, That Documents The Effect Of Mobile Communication On Social Bonding And Also Examines Some fO The Other Possibly Problematic Issues Raised By Tighter Social Cohesion In Small Groups.
