About This paperback
In the twenty-first century, the post-secular age is fashioning religion and challenging tradition Christianity. However, the interest in spirituality is rising. Taylor exhorts Christians embrace new vehicles to communicate Gospel truth - or face extinction.
Envisioning Christianity's future as "spirituality over religion" Taylor believes Christians must rethink the sacred in a democratized world. Taking snapshots from numerous fields - including theology, cultural studies, sociology, and pop culture - he explores the broad spectrum of factors affecting religious life today.
Taylor suggests a move away from traditional Christian religion, proposing instead a manifestation of Christianity as a religion not of the past but of the present and the future. Professors and students in theology, sociology, cultural anthropology, and missiology courses will benefit, while culture watchers and emerging-church readers will discover thought-provoking hope for Christianity's future.
