Kees de Groot

The Liquidation of the Church

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book develops a fresh way to look at religion in late modernity and produces new questions for theological and sociological debate. The metaphor of liquidation provides an alternative to approaches that merely perceive the decline of religion or a spiritual revolution.
