Features: The emergence and understanding of "secularization" are highly debated. Some argue that "secularization" began in the 1950s-1960s, while others trace it back to the Thirty Years' War, the Enlightenment, or even the Reformation. However, one thing is certain: it is a crucial topic in religious sociology, with some scholars even considering it the most important issue in the theory and practice of religious sociology. This book is a significant milestone in the development of secularization theory, marking a reversal in the direction of secularization theory: "secularization."
