No longer content merely to administer pastoral care to individual souls, religious institutions are challenging dominant political and social forces, raising questions about the claims of entities such as nations and markets to be \"value neutral\", and straining the traditional connections of private and public morality. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Casanova looks at five cases from two religious traditions (Catholicism and Protestantism) in four countries (Spain, Poland, Brazil, and the United States). These cases challenge postwar-and indeed post-Enlightenment-assumptions about the role of modernity and secularization in religious movements throughout the world. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e This book expands our understanding of the increasingly significant role religion plays in the ongoing construction of the modern world.\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 330\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.76 x 9.07 x 6.1 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 15, 1994\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52731473887539,"sku":"9780226095356","price":68.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/K3JWOHRpaXA5RG03R2EveVZBWHRidz09.webp?v=1763859429","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/public-religions-in-the-modern-world-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
