Religion in Western Society

By Stephen J. Hunt

This book offers a comprehensive account of religion in Western societies, focusing particularly on Western Europe and North America but taking in developments elsewhere around the globe as appropriate. Offering a guide to the principal forms of religion in the West-whether mainstream religion, sects or cults, popular superstition, or religious fundamentalism-it calls upon both empirical work and theoretical debates to examine beliefs, practices, patterns of organization, and significant trends.
