Harvey Cox burst onto the religious-publishing scene in 1962 with
his provocative book, The Secular City. His assertions about the
consequences of the modern secular world for religion changed
forever the way that theologians and clergy approached their tasks
of God-talk in late modernity. Always prescient about the religious
scene, Cox virtually predicted the "turn east" that many American
religious seekers took in the late '60s and early '70s. His books
on world religions (Many Mansions), Pentecostalism (Fire from
Heaven), and fundamentalism and liberation theology (Religion in
the Secular City) have all provided trenchant commentary on the
changing face of American religion. In this exciting collection of
twenty essays, Sharma and his contributors honor Cox's seminal
contributions to the study of religion. The first section of the
book includes essays on Cox's life and work at Harvard, where he is
Victor S. Thomas Professor of Divinity, and his work as a
liberation theologian in the Third World. The second section
features theologians such as Leonardo Boff, James Cone, Hans Kung,
Jurgen Moltmann, and Richard L. Rubenstein, who use Cox's themes of
interreligious dialogue, grassroots theology, and religion and
secularization as the starting points for their own essays on these
themes. Contributors to the volume include: Cornel West, Harvard
