Medlemmers vurdering

B
Bruce – 26.01.2006

– Denne boken tar for seg religioners utvikling, og hadde som mål å komme med noen fornuftige prognoser. Dette var en form or forskning som før boken hadde blitt betydelig svekket, til fordel for svært ideografisk religionsvitenskap. Sentrale ideer som behandles er sekularismens fremvekst og kristendommens fall. Vi presenteres for flere syn på saken, noe som gjør boken balansert og tankevekkende. Mest spennende er forutsigelsen om den økende privatreligiøsiteten, som forfatterne uten tvil spådde rett om.
Tanken er at vi ikke har sett et fall i religiøsiteten, men forvandling av den. Dette er fascinerende lesning, og kan anbefales til alle som begeistrer seg for sosiologi og studier av religion.

Bruce – 26.01.2006

– Det er veldig interessant å spå, noe som er svært tydelig i media og hos folk flest, mens i vitenskapelig sammenheng synes nåtid å ha blitt viktigst. De store teoriene blir uglesett, mikroperspektiv gir mest nøyaktighet og minst usikkerhet. Men mange er avhengige av fremtidens utvikling; Ledere, skolesystemer og religionene selv. Og religionene er viktige, så hvorfor ikke spå om dem? Det blir det gjort i denne boken. Relgionsfeltet er delt opp i sekularisme, organisert kristendom og alternative religioner. En rekke forfattere kommer så med prognoser og eksempler på utviklingen som finner sted i disse religiøse feltene. Boken markerer et skille i religionssosiologien, hvor det endelig ble lov å kommer med de store tankene igjen, og 'religionsmålingen' fikk en seriøs motstander.
