'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
