The New York Times Notable Book about the fastest-growing form of worship on earth: the vibrant, primal spirituality of Pentecostalism
In this fascinating interpretation of contemporary culture and theology, Harvey Cox examines both the loss and reemergence of festivity and fantasy in Western civilization. He evaluates both processes from a theological perspective, defining festivity as the capacity for genuine revelry and joyous celebration and defining fantasy as the faculty for envisioning radically alternative life situations. t speaks directly to such contemporary movements as the theology of hope, the rapidly disappearing radical theology, and the theology of culture. For many it will provide a new perspective on the renewal of religious life and the secular search for religious experience.
Harvey Cox's two previous books, The Secular City and The Feast of Fools (both of them original, influential best sellers), have made him the best known and most iconoclastic writer on religion in America today.Harvey Cox's new book is about the roots of religious feeling, about the need to find in the complex aspects of contemporary life—the new awakening of the encounter movement and the growing interest in Eastern mysticism—the sources of a new religion, with its own theology, its own morality, its own symbolism, which will be, in effect, a "people's religion."
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.
The debate on the role and influence of the local press on city government and politics has often been seriously hindered by a lack of detailed information. This 1973 book improved the situation by studying the role of the provincial daily and weekly press in the life of a community, focusing on six papers in Merseyside during the 1960s.
