--David Martin, London School of Economics
"Bruce's book is a compelling, vigorous and scrupulously fair
defense of what the secularization paradigm means and does not
mean. Highly recommended." (Library Journal)
"The sooner churches face up to Bruce's thesis, the better."
(Ministry Today)
"Readable, debatable, and full of important insights on
everything from the failure of New Age religions to a cautious
defense of the golden age of religion thesis, it is a book that all
libraries should own. No serious (or even casual) student of
religion can afford to neglect it." (Choice)
"...the pace and style of Bruce's narrative, the crispness and
clarity of his argument, and his frequent digs at aspects of the
contemporary mood...make God is Dead a truly entertaining
and enlightening book."

Magazine)

"This book is exactly what the back cover claims: a robust
defense of the secularization thesis...The writing and the
presentation are both concise and clear, offering a resource that
students will cherish." (Theology)

interested in current theoretical disputes in the sociology of
religion as well as students of the religious change in particular
cultures of the West." (Religious Studies Review)
