Globalizing the Sacred by Marie Marquardt
By illustratingthe challenges that scholars and students must confront in order to understand the complexity of todays religious landscape, Globalizing the Sacred makes both important theoretical and methodological contributions to the study of religions role in social change.
Globalizing the Sacred breaks new ground in our understanding of the transnational role of religionBased on case studies in the Americas, this book challenges modernist assumptions about the ways Christians communicate and interact in an increasingly global world. Vßsquez and Marquardt demonstrate a sophisticated knowledge of transnational theory as they engage debates related to hybrid identities, the transformative impact of the Internet, and the increasing flow of migrants across national borders. -- Donald E. Miller * executive director, Center for Religion and Civic Culture, University of Souther *

Locating their analysis at the crossroads between religious studies and the emerging literature on globalization, Vßsquez and Marquardt masterfully interweave theory and case studies to provide essential insights for understanding religion and social change in the twenty-first century."-, -- Timothy Matovina * director, Cushwa Center for the Study of American Catholicism, University of Not *
