Peter L. Berger
â€œ[Berger] writes in a concise and lucid style, a rare talent among sociologists, but does so without losing any of the cogency of his material. More impressively, he is almost unparalleled in his creativity. ,The Sacred Canopy, brings together all of these virtues and is easily his most important book. Indeed, I think itâ€™s the most important contribution to the sociology of religion since Max Weberâ€™s ,The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism,.â€ â€”Jeffery K. Hadden, ,Commonweal, ,â€œThis is a brilliant analysis that gives evidence of a sociology of religion that is able to clarify the often ironic interaction of religion and society.â€ â€”A. Theodore Kachel, ,Union Seminary Quarterly Review,This important contribution to the sociology of religion provides an analysis that clarifies the often ironic interaction between religion and society.Â Â Berger is noted for his concise and lucid style.
