Religion and the Modern World examines the complex and evolving relationship between religious faith and the intellectual foundations of the early 20th century. Written by John Herman Randall and John Herman Randall, Jr., this work delves into the profound shifts in human thought brought about by the rise of modern science, historical criticism, and the industrial age. The authors explore how traditional religious structures and beliefs encounter the challenges of a secularized society, questioning whether ancient faiths can maintain their relevance in an era defined by empirical inquiry and rapid social change.

The book provides a thorough philosophical and historical overview of the transition from a unified medieval worldview to the fragmented landscape of the modern era, tracing the impact of the Enlightenment and subsequent intellectual revolutions on the spiritual life of humanity. It offers a critical analysis of the various attempts to reconcile religious experience with the demands of modern logic and social ethics. Religion and the Modern World serves as an essential text for those interested in the sociology of religion, the history of ideas, and the enduring quest for meaning in a rapidly transforming world.
