A reprint in four volumes of important essays published since the 1950s on the secularization thesis, with each essay provided with a brief, problem-oriented introduction by the editor. The work contains texts on empirical assessment (Vol. 1: Defining Secularization: The Secular in Historical and Comparative Perspective), the sociological theories of secularization (Vol. 2: The Sociology of Secularization), the different religious developments in Europe and the United States (Vol. 3: American Exceptionalism), and the more recent criticism of secularization theory since the 1990s (Vol. 4: The Comparative Sociology of De-secularization).
