Mass Market Paperback. Peter Ludwig Berger (1929 – 2017) was an Austrian-born American sociologist and Protestant theologian. Berger became known for his work in the sociology of knowledge, the sociology of religion, study of modernization, and theoretical contributions to sociological theory. He is arguably best known for his book, co-authored with Thomas Luckmann, The Social Construction of Reality: A Treatise in the Sociology of Knowledge, which is considered one of the most influential texts in the sociology of knowledge and played a central role in the development of social constructionism. Mr. Berger had a skill for clear and concise sociological writing, and this is demonstrated ably in "A Rumor of Angels". This book deals with the state of thological and religious thought in the modern world, where the availability of several options for individuals to think and believe has caused a challenge to theological thought and religous institutions. He makes the case that a complete understanding of this is important for both religious and non-religious individuals, and also for theologians and scholars of religion. He also advances the case that an inductive faith is a possible option for those who find it impossible to ignore modern philosophical thought and the evidence drawn from the empirical sciences, in their religious beliefs. In Berger's view, faith and the supernatural do not have to be ruled out just because empirical science does not support them.
