The End of White Protestantdom in America

Everybodyâ??s also talking about â??decline,â? as in decline of the West, civilization, civility, politics, sanity, spirituality, and the like, so they might as well talk about the decline of White Protestant America, and they do. Jones does the declinists one better by writing not about the â??decline,â? but the end. His book is full of graphs, statistics, and charted trends, which are tools of his trade, as well as of stories, the tools of historians and many kinds of writers. Spoiler alert: this is not a review of the book. Often in Sightings we point to, plunder, learn from, comment on, and pass the word along about a book. But we who are schooled in academia know we canâ??t do justice to most books in the little space of a column. In academic settings I could question some elements in Jones book and would enjoy round-tabling about it.
