{"product_id":"9781469607177","title":"The Cursillo Movement in America: Catholics, Protestants, and Fourth-Day Spirituality","description":"The internationally growing Cursillo movement, or \"short course in Christianity,\" founded in 1944 by Spanish Catholic lay practitioners, has become popular among American Catholics and Protestants alike. This lay-led weekend experience helps participants recommit to and live their faith. Emphasizing how American Christians have privileged the individual religious experience and downplayed denominational and theological differences in favor of a common identity as renewed people of faith, Kristy Nabhan-Warren focuses on cursillistas--those who have completed a Cursillo weekend--to show how their experiences are a touchstone for understanding these trends in post-1960s American Christianity. \u003cbr\u003eDrawing on extensive ethnographic fieldwork as well as historical research, Nabhan-Warren shows the importance of Latino Catholics in the spread of the Cursillo movement. Cursillistas' stories, she argues, guide us toward a new understanding of contemporary Christian identities, inside and outside U.S. borders, and of the importance of globalizing American religious boundaries.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"The University of North Carolina Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47171165847792,"sku":"9781469607177","price":27.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781469607177_p0.jpg?v=1763699628","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781469607177","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
