'... the collection's diversity is a great strength... The coherence of the whole book also owes much to the extended introduction by Simon Coleman and Peter Collins, which offers a helpful survey of current scholarly thinking on religion and identity, set in the context of wider debates on secularization and globalization. Researchers and teachers on religion in the contemporary British Isles will find a variety of interesting case studies here.' Theology
