'Up until this volume, no scholarly study has been dedicated to exploring the intersection of memory and religion. To this end, Memory and Religion in Postsecular Persepctive offers new vistas on how political and social change comes into being by reinterpreting well known theories.'Cathrine Wanner, Pennsylvania State University, USA'The book states fundamental questions of relations and boundaries between sacred and profane, religious and secular, political uses of religious narratives and media, the features and contexts of memory processes within the sphere of religion in its institutional and vernacular, lived forms. Elaborating such important issues needs intellectual courage and sensitivity allowing the in-depth and refreshing analyses, that we can find in the book.'Małgorzata Zawiła, Jagiellonian University, Poland
