Reviews
'...an holistic, critical appreciation of Grace Davie's achievement as a remarkable sociologist of religion and academic, [this book] helps us to see how and why Grace has played such an important part in the emergence of a new sociology of religion.' From the foreword by Linda Woodhead, University of Lancaster, UK 'This book reviews many of the most important discussions in the sociology of religion in recent decades, and offers valuable new perspectives. Through the text you can hear Grace Davie's quiet, non-polemical but distinct voice.' PAYl Repstad, University of Agder, Norway
