The Resurgent Religious Quest in Contemporary America: Peter Berger (1985)

Sociologist and Protestant theologian Peter Berger delivers a lecture about the resurgent religious quest in contemporary America and its social and political implications. He discusses Protestant developments, dealing very briefly with what is occurring outside the Protestant community. Berger covers subjects such as how American society as a whole has never been very secularized, the evangelical resurgence in America, examples of societies demonstrating secularized modernity around the world, and how the consequences of these shifts are much more serious than divisiveness and confusion within the laity. The lecture concludes with audience questions.

Recorded March 21, 1985 at The 92nd Street Y, New York.
