The Future of Religious Heritage examines the resurgence of
religious heritage in a secular age and frames such heritage as
both legacy from the past and promise for the future. Drawing on
case studies from across Europe, the volume addresses the
intersection of three well-defined areas of research: secularism,
religious heritage, and the question of renewal. Considering the
heritagisation of religion and the sacralisation of heritage,
contributions to the book consider to what extent the idea of
renewal, so pivotal to religious and secular ontologies, is present
in heritage formations. Thinking about the temporalities of
re-enactment and reconstruction, the volume examines whether
heritage practices incorporate religious time into secular
practice. Problematising such temporalities of the sacred in our
post-secular age, the volume explores how these intersections of
religious and secular time in heritage practices inform
constructions of the future. The Future of Religious Heritage
addresses the paradox of the secularisation of religion and the
sacralisation of heritage in a post-secular age. It will appeal to
academics and students with an interest in critical heritage
studies, religion, and (post)secularism, and will also be of
interest to those studying re-enactment, regeneration and renewal.
