Branded: Adolescents Converting from Consumer Faith

by Turpin, Katherine

Description: Branded by Katherine Turpin, assistant professor of religious education, addresses and examines three key elements: the distortion of adolescent vocation in a consumer-focused culture; the dream that adolescents would discover the freedom to live into a vocational path not dominated by consumer culture; and an educational process of enlivening agency and imagination that would allow for such freedom of vocational development.

The second book in the Youth Ministry Alternative Series published by Pilgrim Press, Turpin’s work helps define the adolescent world in today’s society and how vocational exploration is influenced by consumerism.
