Sommario/riassunto

"Rethinking Church, State, and Modernity considers some central concepts in the sociology and history of religion and explores how Canada's religious experience is distinctive in the modern world. The contributors to this volume challenge the institutional approach that stresses a strict division between 'church' and 'state, ' which seems increasingly inappropriate in late-modern and post-modern society and instead, favour a more fluid interpretation."--Jacket.
