Religion in the Modern World: From Cathedrals to Cults
ISBN: 9780198781516 / Angielski / Miękka / 1996 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Religion, throughout history, has held a prominent yet curious place in western civilization. Though in constant flux, the institution of religion has consistently offered its followers solace in times of trouble, hope amid eminent failure, or, more generally, a sense of place and self in a large and seemingly indifferent world. It is the manner in which people have pursued their spirituality, however, that poses challenging questions of what religion means and where religion is heading in the twenty-first century. Offering an engaging look at the evolution of western religion from the early...

Paisley: Religion & Politics in N Irel C
ISBN: 9780199281022 / Angielski / Twarda / 2007 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The career of the Revd Ian Paisley raises vital questions about the links between religion and politics in the modern world. Paisley is unique in having founded his own church and party and led both to success, so that he effectively has a veto over political developments in Northern Ireland. Steve Bruce draws on over 20 years of close acquaintance with Paisley's people to describe and explain Paisleyism. In this clearly written account, Bruce charts Paisley's movement from the maverick fringes to the centre of Ulster politics and discusses in detail the changes in his party that accompanied...

ISBN: 9780198273691 / Angielski / Twarda / 1992 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych.

Leading sociologists and historians who share a common interest in advancing our understanding of religious change here clarify the key elements of this thesis, testing them against appropriate data bases. The book discusses the thesis and explores such issues as church adherence in the nineteenth century in the United States Europe, the...

Scottish Gods: Religion in Modern Scotland 1900-2012
ISBN: 9781474408400 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. How much has Scotland's religious landscape changed in the last century, and why?
Steve Bruce here presents a highly readable account of the changing nature and place of religion in Scotland in an increasingly irreligious society. In 1900 Scotland was a largely Presbyterian country and the Christian churches were a major social force. Now less than 10 per cent of Scots attend church. As religion has declined, it has become more varied: Catholicism has grown as have Charismatic Christian fellowships; Buddhist and Hindu themes have 'easternised' our religious vocabulary; a significant...

ISBN: 9780199584406 / Angielski / Twarda / 2011 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The decline in power, popularity and prestige of religion across the modern world is not a short-term or localized trend nor is it an accident. It is a consequence of subtle but powerful features of modernization. Renowned sociologist, Steve Bruce, elaborates the secularization paradigm and defends it against a wide variety of recent attempts at rebuttal and refutation. Using the best available statistical and qualitative evidence Bruce considers the implications for the secularization paradigm of the extent to which new religious movements or New Age spiritualities are replacing religion;...

The Edge of the Union
ISBN: 9780198279761 / Angielski / Miękka / 2001 / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. On the twenty-fifth anniversary of the Northern Ireland Troubles', Ulster's once dominant unionists are an increasingly alienated people. In this timely assessment of the prospects for peace, Steve Bruce examines the embittered world-view of two key sections of Ulster unionism: the loyalist terrorists and the evangelical supporters of Ian Paisley. To get to the heart of the unionist position Bruce asks how they see the last twenty-five years, what they want from the future, what they think they will get, what they will accept, and what they will fight to oppose. He describes the Troubles as a...
