The power of modernity to secularise has been a foundational idea
of the western world. Both social science and church history
understood that the Christian religion from 1750 was deeply
vulnerable to industrial urbanisation and the Enlightenment. But as
evidence mounts that countries of the European world experienced
secularising forces in different ways at different periods, the
timing and causes of de-Christianisation are now widely seen as far
from straightforward. Secularisation in the Christian World brings
together leading scholars in the social history of religion and the
sociology of religion to explore what we know about the decline of
organised Christianity in Britain, Europe, the United States,
Canada and Australia. The chapters tackle different strands,
themes, comparisons and territories to demonstrate the diversity of
approach, thinking and evidence that has emerged in the last 30
years of scholarship into the religious past and present. The
volume includes both new research and essays of theoretical
reflection by the most eminent academics. It highlights historians
and sociologists in both agreement and dispute. With contributors
from eight countries, the volume also brings together many nations
for the first consolidated international consideration of recent
themes in de-Christianisation. With church historians and cultural
historians, and religious sociologists and sociologists of the
godless society, this book provides a state-of-the-art guide to
secularisation studies.
