Summary: Sacred in a Secular Age, edited by Phillip E. Hammond, brings together leading scholars to reassess one of the most enduring assumptions in the sociology of religion: the secularization thesis. Long taken as conventional wisdom, the thesis posits an inexorable decline of the sacred as societies modernize. Yet the persistence—and even resurgence—of religion in new movements, conservative traditions, and political struggles around the world challenges the adequacy of this model.
