Religion in der Moderne. Ein internationaler Vergleich

In many countries in Europe and outside of Europe, the social significance of religion has decreased significantly in recent years. To what extent are religion and modernity compatible? To what extent do religious communities possess potential that can help them effectively counter the trend of secularization? In this updated third edition of their standard work, Detlef Pollack and Gergely Rosta examine the relationship between modernization and religious change in the 20th and 21st centuries, using selected countries, including Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Russia, the USA, South Korea, and Brazil. Based on the latest data, they develop theoretical perspectives that can help explain the weakening of religious ties in modernity, but are also able to make their strengthening understandable.
