In this highly provocative investigation, C. John Sommerville
examines common linguistic uses of the terms ""religion,""
""religious,"" ""spiritual,"" and ""secular"" in order to discern
understandings of these words in contemporary American culture. For
example, he finds that, in English, ""religion"" is our word for a
certain kind of response to a certain kind of power (the power and
the response both being beyond anything else in our experience).
Sommerville then uses these definitions to examine the ways that
institutions in the fields of education, science, law, politics and
religion are affected--often in unexpected ways--by a shared set of
assumptions about what these words mean.
