The Secular City : Secularization and Urbanization in Theological Perspective Paperback / softback
by Harvey Cox
Paperback / softback
Description
Since its initial publication in 1965, The Secular City has been hailed as a classic for its nuanced exploration of the relationships among the rise of urban civilization, the decline of hierarchical, institutional religion, and the place of the secular within society.
Now, half a century later, this international best seller remains as relevant as when it first appeared.
The book's arguments--that secularity has a positive effect on institutions, that the city can be a space where people of all faiths fulfill their potential, and that God is present in both the secular and formal religious realms--still resonate with readers of all backgrounds.
For this brand-new edition, Harvey Cox provides a substantial and updated introduction.
He reflects on the book's initial stunning success in an age of political and religious upheaval and makes the case for its enduring relevance at a time when the debates that The Secular City helped ignite have caught fire once again.
