This collection of essays critically engages with Charles Taylor's
idea of a Catholic modernity through focusing on the crucial issue
of the shape and role of religion in modernity. Taylor launched the
idea in his seminal 1996 essay A Catholic Modernity?, and the idea
is here explored in relation to other Christian denominations and
non-Christian traditions. Taylor's proposal has the potential to
become a central and encompassing perspective in thinking about
relations between modernity and religion/transcendence in each
religious tradition. Six leading authors from diverse
backgrounds-David Martin, Bernice Martin, Francis Schussler
Fiorenza, Robert Cummings Neville, Souleymane Bachir Diagne and
Jonathan Boyarin-assess Taylor's Catholic modernity idea and probe
whether and how the extension to other religious modernities
(Anglican, Pentecostal, Confucian, Islamic, Jewish) makes sense-or
not. Charles Taylor reacts to their considerations and reflects on
his own idea 25 years on.
