Secularisation

Secularisation: New Historical Perspectives unveils an exciting range of case studies exploring emerging research in secularisation with an international outlook.

'The looseness of connections between many of the chapters reflects the book's origin as a collection of conference papers, yet there are threads that recur throughout the experience of reading, the result of which is that some chapters take on new and fresh meanings in the light of others. There is considerable material of interest in Secularisation: New Historical Perspectives.'Carole M. CusackUniversity of SydneyJournal of Religious History, 39:1 (2015)
