Can we be fully modern and fully religious? The Sociology of Religion works at two levels. First it sets out the agenda - covering the key questions in the sociology of religion today. At the same time, it interrogates this agenda - asking if the sociology of religion, as we currently know it, is 'fit for purpose'. If not, what is to be done? This book: " describes the origins of the sociology of religion " demystifies secularization as a process and a theory " relates religion to modern social theory " unpacks the meaning of religion in relation to modernity and globalization " grasps the methodological challenges in the field " provides a comparative perspective for religions in the west " introduces questions of minorities and margins " sets out a critical agenda for debate and research. In a single volume, Grace Davie captures the nature and forms of modern religion, the current debates in the field and the prospects for future development.
