Reviews
'De Groot's book helpfully shows how liquid modernity has begun to transform twenty-first-century Christianity in the developed world. It is an outstanding book, and highly recommended.' - Martyn Percy, Christ Church, University of Oxford, in Modern Believing 'De Groot's study of dispossession, displacement and decline provides an unusual and important application of Bauman's notion of liquid modernity to a case study: Dutch Catholicism.' - Kieran Flanagan, University of Bristol, in Thesis Eleven 'The case-studies offer a range of insight into fascinating aspects of religion (and Catholicism in particular) in interaction with contemporary culture. I commend this book, for its careful observation and analysis, for resisting sociological orthodoxies, and for its insight.' - Andrew Todd, Cambridge Theological Foundation, Anglia Ruskin University, in Practical Theology 'This is a thoughtful and nuanced account of the social and theological challenges facing churches today in the Netherlands. A fascinating book.' - Robin Gill, University of Kent, in Journal of Contemporary Religion 'De Groot makes out his thesis about 'redistributed' liquid post-modern religion with great expertise. I just happen not to buy it.' - David Martin, LSE, Theology 'De Groot has delivered a solid and insightful analysis in this book. He weaves a fascinating argument, even if it is very much in continuity with the variations on the secularisation debate that has been going on in the disciplines concerned with religion for well over a century.' - Peter Beyer, University of Ottawa, in Journal for Religion in Europe 'De Groot's book helpfully shows how liquid modernity has begun to transform twenty-first-century Christianity in the developed world.
