这本书提出了第一个完整的研究宗教之间的关系和有争议的概念，公民社会。在世纪的最后20年里，宗教重新进入公共空间，成为一种有影响力的话语和象征系统，显然超出了传统宗教授权机构或国家的控制。宗教与传统机构的这种区别以及进入世俗公共领域对民主既有危险，也有可能带来好处。
第一部分介绍了宗教，现代化和后现代化之间的相互作用在西方和非西方设置（美国，欧洲，中东和印度）的关键介绍，侧重于人权，公民社会和公共领域的话语，以及它们的跨文化应用的争议问题。第二部分通过对埃及、波斯尼亚和英国穆斯林少数民族的案例研究来考察宗教和公民社会，并将波兰作为经历了公开重申宗教的基督教多数社会的一个例子进行比较。
This book presents the first full-length study of the relationship between religion and the controversial concept of civil society. Across the world in the last two decades of the twentieth century religions re-entered public space as influential discursive and symbolic systems apparently beyond the control of either traditional religious authorising institutions or states. This differentiation of religion from traditional institutions and entry into secular public spheres carries both dangers and possible benefits for democracy.
Part one presents a critical introduction to the interaction between religion, modernization and postmodernization in Western and non-Western settings (America, Europe, the Middle East and India), focussing on discourses of human rights, civil society and the public sphere, and the controversial question of their cross-cultural application. Part two examines religion and civil society through case studies of Egypt, Bosnia and Muslim minorities in Britain, and compares Poland as an example of a Christian majority society that has experienced the public reassertion of religion.
