′This is an extraordinarily readable book – lively, penetrating and provocative. The sometimes complex issues with which the author deals are handled with adroit subtlety but without the sacrifice of clarity. Aldridge skilfully summarizes the work of others, but adds points of genuine originality of his own. The result is a piece of work of outstanding intellectual quality which undergraduates should find an exciting pleasure to read, and from which graduates would also profit.′ Bryan Wilson, Oxford University
′This is a bright, lucid overview of the sociological study of religion that skillfully summarises a broad range of work in the field and arranges it into an accessible, liberal–mainstream narrative on the thematic and methodological developments in the subject over the last hundred years. It will reward in one way or another all who read it, but will be especially useful in undergraduate classes in sociology of religion and religious studies.′ Steven Sutcliffe, University of Sutherland, Culture and Religion
′It blends theory and empirical evidence in an engaging, challenging and even provocative way ... Aldridge′s work is accessible and informative. No doubt it will become a popular standard textbook for undergraduates in Sociology and Religious Studies, whilst also appealing to a general readership.′ British Journal of Sociology
′This book provides an authoritative introduction to the subdiscipline of the sociology of religion ... The book′s central strength is the balance achieved between summarising the traditional concerns of the sociology of religion, and also incorporating recent theoretical innovations. Also, in summarising the debates of a subdiscipline that is rarely consensual, Aldridge treads skilfully the delicate path between overt partisanship on the one hand and bland summary on the other.′ Sociology
