Religion is booming, according to Felipe Fernandez-Armesto, not because it is necessary or natural but because social change favours it. He predicts that religions will continue to provoke wars and that fundamentalism will threaten social stability and world peace. This is an electrifying book, crammed with disturbing questions and daring answers, in which the author provides key reasons for faith in the future of faith.

Religion
This was a good introduction to theories of religion, broadly understood. Whether the religious ideas presented in the first third of the book count as 'theories' is debatable, but the book certainly stands out by providing a genealogy of abstract thinking about religion that goes beyond 'scientific' theories. It also does what no other intro book does: there are 20+ pages on Marx and Engels and about 5 pages each of Durkheim and Weber. Further, there are some original insights in the section on Marx and Engels. This is explained by Thrower's own specialisation, but is a very welcome exception from the rule. One wishes there was an up to date version of a similar theory book.
