Berger, an internationally renowned sociologist of religion. Secularization theory-which saw modernity as leading to a decline of religion-has been empirically falsified. It should be replaced by a nuanced theory of pluralism. In this new book, Berger outlines the possible foundations for such a theory, addressing a wide range of issues spanning individual faith, interreligious societies, and the political order. He proposes a conversation around a new paradigm for religion and pluralism in an age of multiple modernities. The book also includes responses from three eminent scholars of religion: Nancy Ammerman, Detlef Pollack, and Fenggang Yang. 606 $aReligious pluralism 606 $aPluralism 606 $aCivilization, Modern 610 $aReligion. 610 $amodernity. 610 $apluralism. 610 $asecularity. 615 0$aReligious pluralism. 615 0$aPluralism. 615 0$aCivilization, Modern. 676 $a306.6 700 $aBerger$b Peter L.$f1929-$0119506 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910787096703321 996 $aThe many altars of modernity$93817520 997 $aUNINA
