Will they have a strong sense of their identity as Catholic Christians, or will they reflect a more generic Christian identity, without the distinctives associated with Catholicism?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSome social commentators suggest that the Catholic identity of young adult Catholics is in jeopardy, with a less ecclesial faith, a thin commitment to the institutional church, and alack of familiarity with the Catholic tradition. Others argue that there are signs that a new generation of younger Catholics is emerging, not all of whom fall easily into the liberal\/conservative categories, though many Catholics over fifty tend to dismiss them as conservative, neo-conservative, or even restorationist.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThomas Rausch's book examines a number of recent studies of young adult Catholics as well as different ways that being Catholic is developed and supported, from the Catholic imagination to a reexamination of Christian origins in the light of the charges made in The Da Vinci Code, to the domestic church and Catholic colleges and universities.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Liturgical Press, The","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47020743459056,"sku":"9780814659847","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780814659847_p0.jpg?v=1763748410","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780814659847","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
