Recensioner i media

"Bowen's important book offers a strong empirical argument that religion continues to play an essential role in secular modernity. His assessment of survey data also constitutes a rich invitation to a substantive theoretical reflection about the religious roots of our contemporary moral dispositions and sentiments. There are many surprising gems in this study. The most suggestive is that religion does not undermine commitment to the requirements of the world. Overall, he shows what being a Christian society does and does not mean and, in so doing, he has given us a gift of inestimable value." Peter Emberley, Department of Political Science, Carleton University "This book is packed with a great deal of very interesting information on a subject of broad significance and its real strength is the breadth of its research." Mark Noll, McManis Chair, Department of History, Wheaton College
