Engaging with the idea that the world reveals not one, but many
routes to modernity, this volume explores the role of religion in
the emergence of multiple forms of modernity, which evolve
according to specific cultural conditions and interpretations of
the 'modern project'. It draws upon case study material from
Africa, The Middle East, Russia and South America to examine the
question of whether modernity, democracy and secularism are
universalistic concepts or are, on the contrary, unique to Western
civilization, whilst considering the relationship of postsecularism
to the varied paths of modern development. Drawing together work
from leading social theorists, this critical theoretical
contribution to current debates will appeal to sociologists, social
theorists and political scientists, with interests in religion,
secularization and postsecularization theory and transitions to
modernity in the contemporary globalized world.
