'There is a real need in the sociology of religion for competent theoretical thinking that connects the sub-discipline with the sociological mainstream. This book represents a real attempt to do better - to make good an evident deficiency.' Grace Davie, University of Exeter, UK 'Research libraries on religion should have the volume.' International Review of Biblical Studies 'With the range of topics covered this work could be adopted by undergraduate and postgraduate students to explore the domain of religion from different perspectives, and for a general overview of the theories and methods already applied and of those potentially applicable in the future.' Culture and Religion '... the editors have managed to present a variety of sociological insights on the changing role of religion... the volume Beckford and Walliss have edited provides us with a rich source for sociological theorising on religion. As it discusses past sociological theory and contemporary debates and suggests future perspectives, this book will definitely affect the theoretical debate within the sociology of religion for many years to come. ' Journal of Contemporary Religion
