Opis

Steve Bruce's important new study presents a detailed comparative analysis of conservative Protestant politics in the UK, USA, South Africa, Australia, Canada, and New Zealand. Reflecting on the nature and place of religion in industrial societies, Bruce examines the constraints that culturally diverse societies place on those who wish to promote political agendas based on religious ideas.

Recenzje

Steve Bruce has written a compelling account of an important phenonmenon. Bruce's willingness to employ unpopular frameworks like modernisation and secularisation theory, and his impressive grasp of the comparative history of Protestant ethnic decline make this book worthwhile reading for scholars of nationalism ... a work which is engaging, relevant, well-argued and is highly recommended by this reviewer.
