Description
Reconstructing Max Weber's original writings, Protestant Modernity offers a multifaceted understanding of secularization within the broader context of nineteenth-century liberal Protestantism. This volume reviews current secularization theories and settles debates about contested meanings of secularization.
Anthony J. Carroll provides a nuanced exploration of Weber's sociological theories, shedding new light on the complex relationships between Protestant belief and modernity. A valuable resource for students and scholars of theology and the sociology of religion, this book is an important contribution to ongoing discussions in these fields.
Published by the University of Scranton Press, Protestant Modernity is a thought-provoking study that will appeal to anyone interested in the intersection of theology, sociology, and modern history.
