Identity in a Secular Age adopts a fresh approach to the important subject of the interrelations of science and religion. Many of its chapters move the spotlight onto the public understanding of these issues and demonstrate the importance of the role of the media—books, periodicals, television—in disseminating the topic to a wide variety of nonelite audiences. This is indeed a welcome collection.
