Sommario/riassunto

This book argues that theology and the church need to engage more seriously with post-modern reality and thought if points of connection are going to be created. Drawing on case studies from Europe and the USA, this book examines examples of Third Space methodologies to ask questions about hybrid identities and methods churches might

It was a subject of high theological speculation, was used to advise kings and popes, and to arrange any activity from the beginning of battles to the most auspicious time to have one's hair cut.
