How do we talk meaningfully about the sacred in contexts where
conventional religious expression has so often lost its power?
Inspired by the influential work of David Jasper, this important
volume builds on his thinking to identify sacrality in a world
where the old religious and secular debates have exhausted
themselves and theology struggles for a new language in their wake.
Distinguished writers explore here the idea of the sacred as one
that exists, paradoxically, in a space that is both possible and
impossible: profoundly theological on the one hand, but also deeply
this-worldly and irreligious on the other. This is a sacredness
that is simultaneously 'present' and 'absent': one which
encompasses - as Jasper himself characterises it - 'the impossible
possibility of an absolute vision'. The book teaches us that the
sacred assumes a renewed potency when fully engaged with the
creativity that happens across religion, literature, philosophy and
the arts.
