A Memory Mutates

Produktbeschreibung

Religion in Modern Europe examines religion as a form of collective memory. This is a memory held in place by Europe's institutional churches, educational systems, and the mass media - all of which are themselves responding to rapid social and economic change. The book also examines the increasing diversity of Europe's religious life.
