(1999) Postmodernity, sociology and religion, Basingstoke, Palgrave Macmillan.
The connections between religion and postmodernity are as yet quite unclear. In general, sociologists of religion have not exhibited much enthusiasm for postmodernity. Theorists of postmodernity often seem equally lukewarm about religion, an issue that does not figure prominently in their accounts. If modern sociology, appealing to secularisation theory, seemed to marginalise religion by assuming it was a dying phenomenon, then theorists of the postmodern have performed little better.
