(Un)Believing in Modern Society
This landmark study in the sociology of religion sheds new light on the question of what has happened to religion and spirituality since the 1960s in modern societies. Exposing several analytical weaknesses of today’s sociology of religion, (Un)Believing in Modern Society presents a new theory of religious-secular competition and a new typology of ways of being religious/secular. The authors draw on a specific European society (Switzerland) as their test case, using both quantitative and qualitative methodologies to show how the theory can be applied. Identifying four ways of being religious/secular in a modern society: 'institutional', 'alternative', 'distanced' and 'secular' they show how and why these forms have emerged as a result of religious-secular competition and describe in what ways all four forms are adapted to the current, individualized society.

Handbuch Religionskunde in Deutschland
Das Handbuch Religionskunde in Deutschland analysiert nicht-konfessionellen religionsbezogenen Unterricht in der Schule aus religionswissenschaftlicher Sicht.

Solidarität - ein christlicher Grundbegriff?
Der Begriff Solidaritat hat in der katholischen Kirche an Aktualitat gewonnen. Im Gegensatz dazu werden Begriffe wie Selbststeuerung und Eigenverantwortung gegen solidarische Bindungen propagiert. Ist das Konzept der Solidaritat in der individualisierten Gesellschaft uberholt'. Der Band geht von drei empirischen Studien zur gelebten Solidaritat in Deutschland und der Schweiz aus. Darauf aufbauend beleuchten die Beitrage Grundfragen aus soziologischer und theologischer Sicht: Ist Solidaritat vereinbar mit dem universalen Anspruch der christlichen Nachsten- und Feindesliebe?
