Description
Religion in Britain A Persistent Paradox by Grace Davie explores the complex relationship between religion and society in 21st century Britain. The country's increasing secularism is juxtaposed with the growing presence of religion in public debate, creating a paradox that has significant implications for various aspects of British life. The book delves into this paradox, examining its impact on churches, faith communities, law, politics, education, and welfare. Drawing on extensive research, Davie sheds light on the current religious landscape in Britain, providing a nuanced understanding of this persistent paradox. By building on her previous work, Religion in Britain Since 1945, Davie offers a comprehensive analysis of the changing religious dynamics in Britain, making this book an essential read for anyone interested in understanding the complex role of religion in modern British society.
