Reviews

Steve Bruce has written a compelling account of an important phenonmenon. Bruce's willingness to employ unpopular frameworks like modernisation and secularisation theory, and his impressive grasp of the comparative history of Protestant ethnic decline make this book worthwhile reading for scholars of nationalism ... a work which is engaging, relevant, well-argued and is highly recommended by this reviewer. * Eric Kaufman, Nations and Nationalism, 5:4 1999 * Bruce was wise in delimiting the study to conservative Protestant groups that sprang from British religious traditions. As a result, his analysis provides a stronger generalization concerning the interaction between religion and society that would be the case otherwise. While students of church-state religions are familiar with Bruce's earlier work on some of the cases used in the present analysis, they will be particularly interested in his findings from this enlarged investigation. * Charles M Tolbert, Journal of Church and State. *
