<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>With nine out of ten Canadians claiming a religious affiliation of some kind - Catholic, Protestant, Jewish, Islamic, Hindu, Buddhist, Aboriginal, or one of dozens of other religions - faith has huge impact on our personal and social lives. In this book, Robert Choquette offers a comprehensive history of religion in Canada and examines the ongoing tug-of-war between modernity and conservatism within the religious traditions themselves. Religion enters into many areas of daily life - including politics, education, community standards, and general behaviour - and this book provides an excellent overview. Through illustrative stories and in-depth research, Canada's Religions offers a timely and invaluable resource, placing religion within its ever-changing social context and inviting the reader to a new level of understanding of Canada's religious faiths.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p>Robert Choquette has studied, taught, researched, and written about religions in Canada for over forty years. His previous books include <i>The Oblate Assault on Canada's Northwest</i> and <i>Christianity Comes to the Americas</i>. He is a professor of Religious Studies at the University of Ottawa.</p>
