Hans Mol was born in the Netherlands during the 1920s. His
imprisonment by the Gestapo during World War II began a long
intellectual journey, exploring the role of religion in society.
His work on the sociology of religion throughout the 20th and 21st
Century is distinctive in its quest for both methodological and
existential balance Part One of this book includes a brief outline
of Mol's most influential theory as originally explicated in
Identity and the Sacred (1976). This is followed by a look at the
initial reception of that theory in relation to the competing
concepts of Mol's contemporaries. Part Two is comprised of four
previously-unpublished essays written by Mol during the 70s and
80s. Covering topics from evolution to evangelicalism, the papers
display the sweeping ambition of this sociologist as well as the
tone and contours of his intellectual articulation. In the
Postscript this volume concludes with select transcripts of
interviews conducted between Adam Powell and Hans Mol during the
Spring of 2012. This volume of Mol's work will be of keen interest
to academics and students with an interest in the sociology of
religion post-World War II and the development of contemporary
Christian theology.
