The religious landscape in Ireland has changed significantly over the course of the last 50 years. Growing religious diversity, the declining influence of the Catholic Church, and the rise of atheist/secular/non-religious groups are key elements of this change. For all that, we know relatively little about how ordinary people relate to religion in contemporary Ireland and what this has to say about how religiosity responds to modernity more generally. Gladys Ganiel’s new book—based on survey data, in-depth case studies, and participant observation—sheds light on this important issue and thus represents a key contribution to our understanding of religious change and development. What I found most appealing about this book is the narrative skill, imagination, and keen observation of the author. And so this book will appeal not just to social scientists—sociologists of religion primarily—but to non-specialists and non-academics as well.
