His first formulation actually goes back one decade earlier to a seminar chaired by Ernest Gellner. See, David Martin, “Towards a General Theory of Secularization”, European Journal of Sociology, December 1969, pp; 192-201. Fortunately, almost by accident, he never followed his own even earlier recommendation: David Martin, “Towards Eliminating the Concept of Secularisation” in Julius Gould (ed.), The Penguin Survey of the Social Sciences (Hammondsworth, Penguin, 1965).
