Why do Gods persist in contemporary society? Religious revival and
vitality all over the world contradict the vision of continuing
declining of belief. This linear process of eclipse of the sacred
in modern society has been proved wrong. Religion indeed is an
expert system competent in ultimate meanings of human being and
social order. Enzo Pace argues that religion persists as a symbol
because of its intrinsic power of communication, in its will to
wield the power to dominate the event of death, and to build a
bridge between the visible and the invisible. The crucial passage
from living word to holy scripture is a fundamental device in the
construction of a system of religious belief. This book provides an
insight on a new approach to religious studies, drawing from
systems theory to consider religion as a means of communication,
and offering a critical alternative to the secularization theory to
explain why religion persists in modernity.
