Description: Since its initial publication in 1965, The Secular City has been hailed as a classic for its nuanced exploration of the relationships among the rise of urban civilization the decline of hierarchical institutional religion and the place of the secular within society. Now half a century later this international best seller remains as relevant as when it first appeared. The book's arguments - - that secularity has a positive effect on institutions that the city can be a space where people of all faiths fulfill their potential and that God is present in both the secular and formal religious realms - - still resonate with readers of all backgrounds. For this brand - new edition Harvey Cox provides a substantial and updated introduction. He reflects on the book's initial stunning success in an age of political and religious upheaval and makes the case for its enduring relevance at a time when the debates that The Secular City helped ignite have caught fire once again.
