- "'Religions Today' analyzes the place of faith communities in the contemporary world and the continuing impact of religions on modernity. Building on research by such scholars as Jose Casanova, Philip Jenkins and S.N. Eisenstadt, this anthology examines the interplay of traditional religion with the process of modernization, and the influences that each of these forces exerts on the other. .... Addressing topices ranging from secularization to religious fundamentalism, the authors weigh the potential of Christian churches and the ecumenical movement in addressing the realities of our times". -- back cover.
