Product Description

Review

“As good an introduction to the sociology of religion for the uninitiated as any current volume. Just about every topic that might be expected is to be found, thus providing a comprehensive reader.”
Sociological Review

“The new edition of Religion in the Contemporary World is a timely guide to the social significance of religion. It is comprehensive, clear and convincing. Alan Aldridge is to be congratulated for writing such a well–informed and readable account of both the routine and the eye–catching aspects of religion in various regions of the world. From ′cults′ to civil religion, from secularization to state control, and from diversity to identity, the analysis of arguments and examples is challenging and shrewd. This is the sociology of religion at its best.”
James A. Beckford, University of Warwick

“Alan Aldridge provides a theoretically rich and empirically wide–ranging introduction to the pluralism of contemporary religion. His nicely integrated approach, coupled with a highly–accessible writing style, will enhance students′ appreciation of the many complexities that characterize religion and society today.”
Michele Dillon, University of New Hampshire
