Reimagining God and Resacralisation: Routledge Studies in Religion

Autor Alexa Blonner
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 mar 2021
This book shows that widespread resacralisation has been taking place, which is producing new ways of perceiving God and the divine. The last century has seen unmistakable changes in religious practices and the concept of spirituality right across the world. There was a broad expectation for much of the twentieth century that religious worldviews would eventually succumb to the challenge of secularist materialism, but this process of secularisation has yet to occur as predicted.




The book begins by contrasting theories of secularisation and resacralisation. Throughout the book, conceptual threads, or ‘new religious themes’, related to this resacralisation are discussed in terms of three main categories: reimagining God’s nature, substance and location; reimagining human value and purpose; and reimagining modes of redemption. Finally, the book considers how these threads are moving in various different directions, and what the religious future might hold.




This is a bold examination of contemporary spirituality that will appeal to academics and scholars of religious studies, new religious movements and the sociology of religion.

Recenzii

‘A refreshing reconsideration of religious transformations in our time, and useful in qualifying prior theories yet drawing on what is best in them on the durability and future of religion.’ – Garry W. Trompf, Emeritus Professor in the History of Ideas, University of Sydney, Australia
