| Description: |
'It is illuminating, it may be persuasive, it ought to be read... the reader is introduced to a wealth of recent literature covering disparate areas of debate. Yet the main value lies in the challenge presented by the novel synthesis as a whole.' - Journal of Contemporary Religion |
| Synopsis: |
In his exploration of the interaction between religion and worldwide social and cultural change, the author examines the major theories of global change and discusses the ways in which such change impinges on contemporary religious practice, meaning and influence.Beyer explores some of the key issues in understanding the shape of religion today, including religion as culture and as social system, pure and applied religion, privatized and publicly influential religion, and liberal versus conservative religions. He goes on to apply these issues to five contemporary illustrative cases: the American Christian Right; Liberation Theology movements in Latin America; the Islamic Revolution in Iran; Zionists in Israel; and religious environmentalism. |
