The book challenged the dominant narratives of secularization and particularly secular liberal theories of democracy that claimed that religion had become and ought to remain a private affair. More than a celebration of the book and its argument, this conference on "A Quarter Century of Public Religions” was an invitation to examine the global transformations of religions in the public sphere in the last twenty-five years. Leading experts in sociology, philosophy, anthropology, religion, history, and political science evaluated these transformations from their own area of expertise and research.
