In Justified by Work, Robert Anthony Bruno sheds light on the simple but rarely asked question: What role does faith and religious observance make in the everyday lives of working people? While some historical work has been done on middle, upper, and professionalclass notions of faith, money, time, and business ethics, the theological beliefs and experiences of workingclass Americans have been practically ignored. Bruno's book is embedded in the contemporary religious practices and beliefs of workingclass Chicagoarea congregations to show both how faith is inextricably interwoven in the everyday lives of the people who regularly attend places of worship and how class impacts the daily manifestation of these people's religion (from theology to practice). Most past religious scholarship has drawn a dichotomy between urban and suburban churches and has compared religious observance and denominational membership by race, gender, ethnicity, and recently, around the emergence of a knowledge and entrepreneurial class forms of church practice. Diverging from previous models, Justified by Work, based on author interviews with a wide spectrum of workingclass Chicagoans, offers a comparative study of workingclass religious practice and faith, across race and ethnic identity. Christian churches are represented by a Catholic Mexican congregation, an African American Baptist church, and a mixed eastern European church. Bruno examines as well how religious observance affects the life and attitudes of workingclass Jews and Muslims in Chicago.
