Much attention has been given in recent writings about religion to
fundamentalism and the 'religious right'. But much less attention
has been given to their opposite - the emergence of a new
generation of progressive religious thinkers and organisations on
the 'religious left'. "The New Spirituality" is one of the first
books to give a comprehensive and authoritative account of this
burgeoning progressive religious movement. It offers a clear and
engaging analysis of the cultural roots, key ideas and
organisational structures of this new faith, assessing its
significance in the changing moral and religious landscape of
contemporary western society. Gordon Lynch argues that we are
witnessing the rise of a new religious ideology which reveres the
natural world, connects religious faith with novel scientific
theories, and has a forward-looking agenda for society's
transformation. Produced by one of Britain's leading writers on the
changing patterns of modern religion, "The New Spirituality" will
be essential reading for students attempting to understand the
shape of religious belief in the twenty-first century.
