Rezensionen

François Gauthier has long been one of the most creative thinkers in the sociology of religion. This book shows why. From Nation-State to Market argues that the context of world society has changed, reshaping religion. Nation-states are now less powerful vis-à-vis market ideologies and forces. Religions of all kinds have responded, producing an increasingly diverse religious sphere. Yet Gauthier shows us the connections behind this diversity. Religious individualism, religious resurgence, secularization, and post-secularity all respond to this deep-seated social shift. This book is a must-read for anyone trying to understand religion today.
