by Greeley, Andrew M; ProQuest Information and Learning Company.
Series: SIRS Enduring Issues 2005Article 32Institutions. Publisher: America, 2004ISSN: 1522-3256;.Subject(s): Europe -- Religion | Europe -- Social conditions | Religion and sociology | SecularizationDDC classification: 050 Summary: "Man bites dog is news. So is the decline of religion. Dog bites man is continuity. So too the persistence of religion. That's not news. Thus the media are fascinated by allegations of religious decline in Europe, especially because the remnants of modernity expect, even demand, the decline of religion." (AMERICA) The author analyzes European religion and disputes the generalization that religion is declining in Europe, noting "religion in a given country is affected by history, social structure and culture; and it affects them. The result, however, is very different religious conditions and not a single, one-dimensional trend."| Item type | Current location | Call number | Status | Date due |
