After traveling around the world in this book, Jenkins concludes that if religion is to thrive, it has to adjust to the reality of a low-fertility world and its cultural, political, and economic implications. pubtype: Review doctype: Book Review src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y dt: @attributes: year: 2021 holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
