'For those who rejoice in the building of bridges between academic enquiry and Christian faith it offers a good deal of encouragement and food for thought.' - John Wolffe'I found this an exhilarating book to read, not least because of the wealth of biographical material which helps to locate Berger for those who know him only through his writing ... It is the first in-depth study of Berger's contribution to the study of religion...' - Duncan MacLaren, King's College, London, Journal of Beliefs and Values'This volume ... makes an important contribution to the field in general and will be appreciated not only by fans of Berger's work, but by all students involved in the academic/scientific study of religion(s).' - Donald Wiebe, Reviews in Religion and Theology'The book clearly provides an authoritative discussion of the significance of Berger's work for the contemporary study of religion ... the collection will be a very useful addition to the reading lists of any courses exploring the sociology of Western religion.' - Gordon Lynch, Journal of Contemporary Religion
