The Oxford Handbook of Religion and Europe is a well-written volume that lends attention to an important matter that still concerns the European space. It is about not just a relevant tool, but also from an investigation that surely will influence future work on the social mechanisms that influence the society. It is definitely a book utility for disciplines of theology, history and sociology.
