Recenzii

For centuries, religion has played a major role in Irish society but The Study of Religions in Ireland is the first critical study dealing with the different religions in Ireland in the past and at present. This volume is required reading for anyone seeking to understand the fundamental changes that Irish society is undergoing in relation to religion at large.
This book is a landmark publication, which offers a state-of-the-art survey of religions in Ireland and an ambitious agenda for future work in this increasingly important field. It will be essential reading for scholars, practitioners and journalists.
15 years after the establishment of the first Study of Religions Department in Ireland at University College Cork, this volume offers a highly valuable snapshot of current research on Ireland's diverse religious field and promises to inspire more research in the future.
This book makes and holds space for a diverse and nuanced discussion on the dynamics of religion in Irish life, and the relationships between religion and identity, gender, community life and social and political history. It will be an important touchstone for scholars across a number of disciplines that engage with the continuing significance of religion in contemporary life, as well as the material, cultural and social heritages of religion in Ireland.
