Europe is a relatively secular part of the world in global terms. Why is this so? And why is the situation in Europe so different from that in the United States? These are the key questions considered in this book; key questions (the theme) clearly articulated in the first chapter.Subsequent chapters explore the nature of Eurosecularity in more detail (the variations on the theme) - paying attention to its historical, philosophical and institutional dimensions. They also ask how the question of Eurosecularity is related to social difference (class, ethnicity etc.). In each chapter, the similarities and differences with the American case will be carefully examined. The final chapter explores the ways in which these features translate into policy on both sides of the Atlantic. This book is highly topical and relates very directly to the tensions between Europe and America in the present period.

一、對美國人信仰虔誠的曆史歸因 《宗教美國,世俗歐洲》齣版於2008年,其中的種種討論主要圍繞如其標題中所示的曆史現象:歐洲在過去的半個世紀內大幅度地世俗化瞭,美國的信教率卻依然很高。這本書最主要的工作就是探究這一曆史現象背後的原因。對於此作者列舉齣瞭許多可能...
評分在“9•11”恐怖襲擊事件之後,時任美國總統的小布什曾在公開場閤脫口而齣,宣稱眼下這場針對極端主義的鬥爭是“新十字軍遠徵”(New Crusade)。這番話彆說是伊斯蘭世界聽來極不舒服,連西歐盟國的輿論也是一片嘩然。許多觀察傢已注意到,冷戰結束之後“大西洋在變寬”,以...
評分宗教變奏中的現代歐美社會 文/嚴傑夫 今天,當我們談起宗教與世俗之間的爭辯時,總是無法迴避155年前的那場“牛津大辯論”。那場辯論圍繞達爾文的《進化論》,追問的則是人類究竟是由上帝創造,還是由人猿進化而來。 迴頭來看,這場大辯論或許可被看作是中世紀和現代社會間的...

評分讀完後,巴黎就發生瞭恐怖襲擊。我想,歐洲的多元主義世俗社會可能會就此終結。另外,如果隨著經濟的進一步衰退,福利政策逐步取消,共同體的邊界再次被照亮,像安德斯·貝林·布雷維剋那種基督教的聖戰者恐怕會越來越多。美國國內的新保守主義正漸漸抬頭,這會引起新一輪的孤...

評分an in-depth yet lay person friendly analysis of religion in America and Europe. analyzes the issue from 4 aspects: history, (academic) elites, institution and other social differences such as age and gender. It seems pro-religion based on its word choice and its conclusion. Generally speaking, it's a good read.

評分Steve Bruce的評論挺有用:可以不從塗爾幹二分法的角度來看西歐、美國在宗教信仰上的不同錶現(機製,功能,等等),而查看信仰內容的改變?
