Religion and Community

Explores the relationship between religion and society, and discusses the ways in which the major world religions need to adapt to the modern world. Keith Ward looks at different forms of religious community, then proposes a radical vision of the church as a person-affirming, world-transforming society within the emerging global community.

First sentence: In the tribal societies in which all religions arose it would be difficult to separate out at religious belief component from the social practices of the tribe.
