This book shows that widespread resacralisation has been taking
place, which is producing new ways of perceiving God and the
divine. The last century has seen unmistakable changes in religious
practices and the concept of spirituality right across the world.
There was a broad expectation for much of the twentieth century
that religious worldviews would eventually succumb to the challenge
of secularist materialism, but this process of secularisation has
yet to occur as predicted. The book begins by contrasting theories
of secularisation and resacralisation. Throughout the book,
conceptual threads, or 'new religious themes', related to this
resacralisation are discussed in terms of three main categories:
reimagining God's nature, substance and location; reimagining human
value and purpose; and reimagining modes of redemption. Finally,
the book considers how these threads are moving in various
different directions, and what the religious future might hold.
This is a bold examination of contemporary spirituality that will
appeal to academics and scholars of religious studies, new
religious movements and the sociology of religion.
