Instead of abandoning the subject of secularization, Secularization Revisited demonstrates how the collapse of formerly dominant secularization theories indicates fundamental conceptual challenges within sociology. This theoretical and empirical analysis argues that sociology of religion as well as sociology in general should pay more attention to the vital external and internal interests of the state, state-form and state-agency.  In the first part of the book, Niels Reeh argues that inter-religious dynamics and state agency in particular have been neglected by the sociology of religion. Reeh then proposes a new analytical framework that can incorporate these two elements into the analysis. In the second part of the book, Reeh applies the analytical framework and presents the first long-term historical sociological case study of the teaching of religion in a European state. His study of the political decision-making concerning the teaching of religion in Denmark from 1721 to 2006 reveals that the Danish state's interest in the religion of its inhabitants to have been dependent on the external relations of the state and the state-form. On this basis, Reeh shows that the changing state interest in the religion of its inhabitants is a crucial factor both behind the decline of the social significance of religion from 1720 to the 1990s, and behind its increase in the years following 2001. Consequently, Reeh argues that sociology should abandon unidirectional theories of secularization and instead shift to studies of historical religious change.  The book is intended for students and scholars of religion, sociology, educational history and history in general (as well as the general public). 410 0$aBoundaries of Religious Freedom: Regulating Religion in Diverse Societies,$x2214-5281 ;$v5 606 $aReligion 606 $aEducational sociology  606 $aEducation and sociology 606 $aChurch and education 606 $aHistory 606 $aReligious Studies, general$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/1A0000 606 $aSociology of Education$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22070 606 $aReligion and Education$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/O41000 606 $aHistory, general$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/700000 615 0$aReligion. 615 0$aEducational sociology . 615 0$aEducation and sociology. 615 0$aChurch and education. 615 0$aHistory. 615 14$aReligious Studies, general. 615 24$aSociology of Education. 615 24$aReligion and Education. 615 24$aHistory, general. 676 $a274.89 700 $aReeh$b Niels$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01058589 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910255353903321 996 $aSecularization Revisited - Teaching of Religion and the State of Denmark$92500708 997 $aUNINA
