Publisher Synopsis
"This is a timely volume. ...well edited and well presented..." James A Beckford in Journal of Contemporary Religion "...an invaluable read for practitioners and policy-makers as well as academics interested in the area." Rebecca Catto in Sociology "...With its accessible style (each chapter may stand alone) and disciplined length, Faith in the Public Realm is an invaluable read for practitioners and policy-makers as well as academics interested in the area.' Rebecca Catto, Lancaster University "This book could not be more urgently relevant, especially for those decision-makers currently grappling with seemingly intractable challenges in complex communities. Its special value, however, is the long-term commitment of the authors to painstaking enquiry and analysis. The result is more practical than polemical and all the more useful for it." Lord Paul Tyler, Chair of the Faiths and Civil Society Unit, Goldsmiths, University of London Read more...
