| Tóm tắt: | Is God really dead, or is he/she just periodically ailing? To understand the background of this question is to know about the transatlantic feud which is being fought over predictions on the future development of religion.

In a debate which is not always led in fairness it is a relief to read Bruce's well-balanced, well-informed and clear account of what sociologists since Max Weber have meant by secularization. |
