Other expressions of the faith are, in fact, stable or even growing. This volume provides multidisciplinary interpretations of and responses to one of the most complicated and controversial issues regarding the global transformation of Christianity today: the decline of \"established Christianity\" in the Western world. It also addresses the future of Christianity in the West after the decline.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDrawing upon historical research, sociology, religious studies, philosophy and theology, an international panel of contributors provide new theoretical frameworks for understanding this decline and offer creative suggestions for responding to it. \"Established Christianity\" is conceptualized as historically, culturally, socially and politically embedded religion (with or without official established status).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a dynamic volume that gives fresh perspective on one of the great social changes taking place in the West today. As such, it will be of great interest to scholars of religious sociology, history and anthropology, as well as theologians. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Paul Silas Peterson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1138308153\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781138308152\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/02\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 312\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Paul Silas Peterson","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48087722131711,"sku":"9781138308152","price":200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3aef0bde-b009-47be-a195-af52bf56d3d2.jpg?v=1769101033","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-decline-of-established-christianity-paul-silas-peterson-9781138308152","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
