This timely book examines the interweaving of politics and religion, and of tradition and innovation in a variety of cultural settings. Eminent scholars from four continents examine here current turmoil in religious beliefs, practices, and organization--not only in the Western world, but in South America, Africa, South Asia, New Zealand, and Japan. They scrutinize evidence of religious change, decline, and revival; investigate challenges posed by new religious movements; and locate religious change and conflict in the context of broader shifts in consciousness and culture. Contributors include Richard Fenn, Phillip E. Hammond, David Martin, Philip Rieff, Roland Robertson, and Mark Schibley. With its focus on the interplay of secularization, rationalism, and sectarianism, this work offers a fitting tribute to Bryan Wilson, who has made so many contributions to the sociological understanding of these phenomena. 580 HU OSA 430 - Donation of Zsuzsa Horváth 600 Wilson, Bryan R., |d1926-2004. 650 0 Religion and sociology. 650 0 Secularization (Theology) 650 0 Rationalism. 650 0 Sects. 700 1 Barker, Eileen, |d1938- |eeditor. 700 1 Beckford, James A., |d1942-2022 |eeditor. 700 1 Dobbelaere, Karel, |eeditor. 880 |6245 942 |2ddc |cBK 952 |00 |10 |2ddc |40 |6200_000000000000000__9_04_BAR |70 |8GEN |9163492OSA |bOSA |d2024-01-15 |eHORVATH |l0 |o200/.9/04 BAR |r2024-01-15 |w2024-01-15 |yBK |cOSA Repository 920 01 doya8kok 992 01 200_000000000000000__9_04_BAR |bXZZ_ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ__Q_ZV_OP8 966 |cIn the Research Room
