First published in 1975, Religion and Alienation: A Theological Reading of Sociology was soon hailed as a seminal work in the ever-evolving dialogue between theology and sociology. In Religion and Alienation, 2nd edition, Baum challenges a new generation of readers to discover the gospel as a message of rescue and liberation from the many prisons that we create for ourselves. In recognition of the importance of Baum’s liberating message, Novalis is proud to release a new, revised edition of this contemporary classic that includes significant new material and completely updated references.
