The main concern of this study, first published in 1990, is the
part played by Protestantism in the complex of social processes of
'secularization'. The book deals with the way in which Protestant
schism and dissent paved the way for the rise of religious
pluralism and toleration; and it also looks at the fragility of the
two major responses to religious pluralism - the accommodation of
liberal Protestantism and the sectarian rejection of the
conservative alternative. It examines the part played by social,
economic and political changes in undermining the plausibility of
religion in western Europe, and puts forward the argument that core
Reformation ideas must not be overlooked, particularly the
repercussions of different beliefs about authority in competing
Christian traditions.
