These characterizations are not only unflattering -- they are wrong. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cem\u003eThe Twentysomething Soul\u003c\/em\u003e tells an optimistic story about American twentysomethings by introducing readers to the full spectrum of American young adults, many of whom live purposefully, responsibly, and reflectively. Some prioritize faith and involvement in a religious congregation. Others reject their childhood religion to explore alternatives and practice a personal spirituality. Still others sideline religion and spirituality until their lives get settled, or reject organized religion completely. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Drawing from interviews with more than 200 young adults, as well as national survey of 1,880 twentysomethings, Tim Clydesdale and Kathleen Garces-Foley seek to change the way we view contemporary young adults, giving an accurate and refreshing understanding of their religious, spiritual, and secular lives.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTim Clydesdale is Professor of Sociology at the College of New Jersey.
