Synopsis :
Written by one of the most revered sociologists of the of the 20th century, A Rumor of Angels gives readers a unique insight into the complicated relationship between religion and society. It is undeniable that religion has had a profound effect on civilization. Readers will learn just how religion and society affect one another, and how that relationship has changed in modern times, with the secularization of mainstream society. Questioning modern morality, Peter Berger offers one of the most thought provoking books on religion in the 20th century.

Mass Market Paperback. Peter Ludwig Berger (1929 2017) was an Austrian-born American sociologist and Protestant theologian. Berger became known for his work in the sociology of knowledge, the sociology of religion, study of modernization, and theoretical contributions to sociological theory. He is arguably best known for his book, co-authored with Thomas Luckmann, The Social Construction of Reality: A Treatise in the Sociology of Knowledge, which is considered one of the most influential texts in the sociology of knowledge and played a central role in the development of social constructionism. Mr. Berger had a skill for clear and concise sociological writing, and this is demonstrated ably in "A Rumor of Angels". This book deals with the state of thological and religious thought in the modern world, where the availability of several options for individuals to think and believe has caused a challenge to theological thought and religous institutions. He makes the case that a complete understanding of this is important for both religious and non-religious individuals, and also for theologians and scholars of religion. He also advances the case that an inductive faith is a possible option for those who find it impossible to ignore modern philosophical thought and the evidence drawn from the empirical sciences, in their religious beliefs. In Berger's view, faith and the supernatural do not have to be ruled out just because empirical science does not support them. First Edition Thus (1970), not directly stated but implied. No subsequent printings listed, in accordance with Doubeday: Anchor's customary practice at the time of publication. N° de réf. du vendeur 56874
