This title was first published in 2002: Perspectives on Civil
Religion introduces the concept of civil religion, examines the use
of the concept in recent scholarship and investigates examples of
civil religion in the contemporary world. The book sets out to
explore tensions and complexities in the relationship between the
'sacred' and the 'secular', and draws on two major case studies for
in-depth illustration of key issues. It looks first at the
development of rituals of remembrance from the American civil war,
British and American responses to the two world wars and the
controversial Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington. It then
considers civil religion in the Italian city of Siena, especially
in relation to the Palio of Siena and Sienese devotion to the
Virgin. The five textbooks and Reader that make up the Religion
Today Open University/Ashgate series are: From Sacred Text to
Internet; Religion and Social Transformations; Perspectives on
Civil Religion; Global Religious Movements in Regional Context;
Belief Beyond Boundaries; Religion Today: A Reader
