Periodic outbreaks of anti-Jewish hostility testify to the continuing presence of anti-Semitism in America. Based on the most extensive research ever conducted on the subject, Anti-Semitism in America, now in a new paperback edition, provides us with the often surprising facts about the enduring form of bigotry and sheds new light on the nature of prejudice in general. The authors draw their conclusions from a specially designed nationwide survey on anti-Semitism conducted by the Survey Research Center at the University of California, Berkeley, and by other public opinion polls.

Glock, Charles Young was born on October 17, 1919 in New York City. Son of Charles and Philippine (Young) Glock.
He earned a Bachelor of Surgery degree in marketing at New York University and an Master of Business Administration at Boston University. After four years of military service, Glock earned a Doctor of Philosophy in sociology at Columbia University.
Glock was professor of sociology at University of California at Berkeley, California. He was twice appointed chair of the department. Glock is probably best known for his five-dimensional scheme of the nature of religious commitment.
His list consist of the following variables:
belief
knowledge
experience
practice (sometimes subdivided into private and public ritual)
consequences
Glock"s first four dimensions have proved widely useful in research, because generally, they are simple to measure survey research.
His five-dimensional scheme inspired other sociologists to compose their own measures of religiosity. One of the more complex spin-offs was Doctor Mervin Verbit"s twenty-four dimensional measure.
His book "Christian Beliefs and Anti-Semitism" co-authored with Rodney Stark is based on surveys finding quantitative data in support of a theory tying Antisemitism to selective elements in Christian indoctrination.
