"The reader is taken on a global exploration of the forms and
diversities of religions and their social and cultural contexts...
It is up to the minute in research and theory, and comfortably
grounded in the traditions of the social explanation of things
religious and spiritual." - Gary Bouma AM, Monash University "Tells
how sociology of religion originated in the work of key nineteenth
and twentieth century theorists and then brings the story into the
present era of globalization, hybrid spirituality, and the
Internet. Students of religion will find this an engaging and
informative survey of the field." - Robert Wuthnow, Princeton
University "It considers the 'big questions' - What is religion?
How is religion changing in a modern world? What is the future of
religion? - and addresses them through tangible case studies and
observations of contemporary life. Its global perspective reflects
the breadth, diversity and vibrancy of this field." - Sylvia
Collins-Mayo, Kingston University This is a rich and dynamic
introduction to the varieties of religious life and the central
issues in the sociology of religion today. It leads the reader
through the key ideas and main debates within the field as well as
offering in-depth descriptions and analysis of topics such as
secularization, fundamentalism, Pentecostal Christianity, Buddhism,
Hinduism, Islam, atheism, 'The spiritual marketplace', digital
religion and new religions like Wicca. Emphasising religion as a
global phenomenon, examining especially the ways in which
globalization has had an impact on everyday religious life,
Singleton has created an illuminating text suitable for students in
a wide range of courses looking at religion as a social and
cultural phenomenon.
