This “Author Meets Critics Seminar” discusses the new book of sociologist of religion Peter Beyer (University of Ottowa) titled Religions in Global Society (London / New York: Routledge 2006). After an opening lecture by Beyer, different experts from Utrecht University will critically engage and reflect upon both, the general ideas and theses brought forward and the particular chapters of the book. The seminar’s target groups are senior and junior researchers from Sociology, Theology and Religious Studies, Cultural and Area Studies in the Netherlands who are interested in the study of formations and restructuring of Religions in Global Society – and willing to read (into) this book in advance.
