This topical collection of eleven commissioned essays assesses the link between postmodernity and religion from a sociological perspective. It breaks new ground in an increasingly lively debate. The implications of postmodernity and its domain qualities are treated in terms of the self, New Age, Catholicism and Judaism. Critical attention is given to Giddens and his treatment of late modernity. Sociological perspectives on postmodernity are linked to debates on the nature of belief in the sociology of religion and theology. Two of the essays provide critical appreciations of two largely untranslated French writers on postmodernity, Jean-Luc Marion and Daniele Hervieu-Leger. In this critical debate several chapters are cross-referenced. The increasing importance of religion in the context of culture and sociological theory is recognised in this indispensable collection of essays.
