The theory of secularisation became a virtually unchallenged truth
of twentieth-century social science. First sketched out by
Enlightenment philosophers, then transformed into an irreversible
global process by nineteenth-century thinkers, the theory was given
substance by the precipitate drop in religious practice across
Western Europe in the 1960s. However, the re-emergence of acute
conflicts at the interface between religion and politics has
confounded such assumptions. It is clear that these ideas must be
rethought. Yet, as this distinguished, international team of
scholars reveal, not everything contained in the idea of
secularisation was false. Analyses of developments since 1500
reveal a wide spectrum of historical processes: partial
secularisation in some spheres has been accompanied by
sacralisation in others. Utilising new approaches derived from
history, philosophy, politics and anthropology, the essays
collected in Religion and the Political Imagination offer new ways
of thinking about the urgency of religious issues in the
contemporary world.
