Synopsis "The Many Altars of Modernity: Toward a Paradigm for Religion in a Pluralist age"

The term “pluralism” has a long history in philosophy, where it has basically meant that there are several ways of looking at reality… Rather I mean by pluralism a phenomenon, not in the mind of a philosophical thinker, but an empirical fact in society experienced by ordinary people (of whom, happily, there are many more than philosophers). -Peter L. Berger in the Preface of The Many Alters of Modernity   This book is the summation of many decades of work by Peter L. Berger, an internationally renowned sociologist of religion. Secularization theory—which saw modernity as leading to a decline of religion—has been empirically falsified. It should be replaced by a nuanced theory of pluralism.   In his new book The Many Alters of Modernity, Berger outlines the possible foundations for such a theory, addressing a wide range of issues spanning individual faith, interreligious societies, and the political order. He proposes a conversation around a new paradigm for religion and pluralism in an age of multiple modernities. The book also includes responses from three eminent scholars of religion: Nancy Ammerman, Detlef Pollack, and Fenggang Yang.
