This book deals with the how and why of over a century of religious
and cultural change. Steve Bruce explores Scotland's transformation
from the largely devout Presbyterian country of 1900, with the
church as a major social force, to the diverse, more secular
society of today, when less than 10 per cent of Scots attend
church. He bases his study on a career's worth of historical,
ethnographic and statistical research, to provide both a coherent
description of Scotland's current religious complexion and a
considered explanation of the forces that shaped it. Scottish Gods
is both a fascinating summary of over a century of religious and
cultural change, and a searing analysis of the state of religion in
Scotland today by one of our leading social historians. It explores
how religion has become more varied over time: growth in
Catholicism and charismatic Christian fellowships; easternisation
of Scotland's religious vocabulary through Buddhism and Hinduism;
the growth of the Muslim population, and pursuit of spiritual
interests once considered pagan. It looks at the decline in the
Protestant-Catholic divide. It discusses controversies over the
proper public place of religion.
