Religion is now high on the public agenda, with recent events
focusing the world's attention on Islam in particular. This book
provides a unique historical and comparative analysis of the place
of religion in the emergence of modern secular society. Bryan S.
Turner considers the problems of multicultural, multi-faith
societies and legal pluralism in terms of citizenship and the
state, with special emphasis on the problems of defining religion
and the sacred in the secularisation debate. He explores a range of
issues central to current debates: the secularisation thesis
itself, the communications revolution, the rise of youth
spirituality, feminism, piety and religious revival. Religion and
Modern Society contributes to political and ethical controversies
through discussions of cosmopolitanism, religion and globalisation.
It concludes with a pessimistic analysis of the erosion of the
social in modern society and the inability of new religions to
provide 'social repair'.
