Christian Lekon’s Modernist Reformers takes the reader on a deep journey into the makings of the various realities of present day religious understandings of Islam, Hinduism and Confucianism with the help of concepts such as the Weberian Ideal type and Immanuel Wallerstein’s notion of geocultures in Modern World Systems (MWS).
