Annotation: What has happened to religion in modern times? Why has it happened? What might happen next?

This volume is the first to bring together a comprehensive selection of readings which illustrate and analyse religion's encounters with the forces of modernization - including nationalism, capitalism, colonialism, democracy, gender and identity politics.

Drawing on scholarly analysis, empirical research and vivid concrete examples, the book offers a picture of a religious world which is increasingly characterized by the coexistence of:
Old faiths and new spiritualities
A turn to tradition and a turn to experience
Decline and revival
Privatization and political militancy
Tolerance and intolerance"

Religion in Modern Times" offers a new framework and language for making sense of religion today.
