'My experience in reading the book, quite apart from my agreement or disagreement at various points, was one of unsettling but exhilarating rediscovery, of reopening and clarifying vitally important questions, and of potentially creative challenge to many of my assumptions about the relationship between sociology and religious belief. For anyone whose interests encompass both sociology and theology, The Enchantment of Sociology is very highly recommended.' - Peter C. Blum, Sociology of Review 'The Enchantment of Sociology is a thoughtful and provocative book which builds usefully upon Sociology and Liturgy.what he offers is an intellectual feast.' - Robin Gill, Church Times 'Flanagan offers us a highly original, often brilliant, if sometimes quirky, tour de force, that deserves to rank on any shortlist of thoughtful books (of which, alas there is a very meagre supply) truly correlating theology and sociology.' - John A.Coleman S.
