This book is the summation of many decades of work by Peter L. 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.
