Description
Summary:Bryan Turner's new Companion to the Sociology of Religion is a wide-ranging work of comparative sociology that explores the significant new sociological forces at work in the work that are both shaping and are shaped by religious groups and their beliefs and practices. As Turner notes in his opening essay, to examine the topics covered in this volume, globalization, resacralization, religious violence, and postmodernity, is to recognize “just how radically the world has changed in such a short period of time” since the publishing of the original Companion (2). Turner's contributors address these processes in a refreshingly global context.
