Cover of Michael O Emerson & Christian Smith: Passing the Plate (ePUB)

Passing the Plate shows that few American Christians donate generously to religious and charitable causes.

By illuminating the social and psychological forces that shape charitable giving, Passing the Plate is sure to spark a much-needed debate on a critical issue.
