Fragmented Gods: The Poverty and Potential of Religion in Canada

by Reginald W. Bibby (Foreword)

In the best traditions of sociology and journalism, Reginald Bibby has given us a careful and objective assessment of religion in Canada. His is a much-needed book, because no society can be fully understood without insight into its religious dynamic. Drawing upon a number of major surveys in recent years, Bibby has woven a mass of data into a coherent and meaningful whole. His is also a book that will be valuable to Americans as well as Canadian readers, for Americans can see much of themselves in the picture that emerges from his religion important but not having primacy in our lives, and consumers telling the Churches the type of religion they want - and, for the most part, getting it.
