DESCRIPTION
Early sociologists’ view about the erosion of religion in modern societies have been challenged by those who argue
that the twenty-first century is experiencing a process of ‘desecularization’ or religious revivalism. This module

them critically to examine the definitions, social origins, and historical and contemporary significance of religion at
the individual, institutional and societal level.
