      Souls of the City will analyze how Indianapolis congregations were shaped by the physical and social mobility that characterized the post-war metropolis. Indianapolis’s transformation from a small city in an otherwise rural county to a complex metropolis occurred precisely at the time that its religious landscape was transformed—from having a predominant mainline Protestant core to a more complex, multi-denominational congregational blend. How these trends were intertwined—and what that intertwining says about the nature of community life in the contemporary metropolis—will be explored in Souls of the City. Souls of the City is the second in The Polis Center Series on Religion and Urban Culture from Indiana Univesity Press.
