Reviews

<br> This volume marks the conclusion of a massive four-year academic research project devoted to the analysis of the realities represented by the terms 'secular, ' 'secularism, ' and 'secularization.'...This conversation, I believe, remains one of the main tasks confronting those who write on secularism today. --Anglican Theological Review<p><br>
