Martyn Percy explores new liberalism, the churches and human rights in the European Union, football and religion, pilgrimage, demonology, common spirituality, religious attitudes to nudity, and the relationship between religion and advertising. The argument running throughout this book is that despite claims-and the appearance-of increasing secularity, the influence of religious themes and values on our everyday life remains pervasive."--Bloomsbury Publishing.Religious Studies: Bloomsbury Academic CollectionsReligion and cultureResilience (Personality trait)Religious aspectsChristianityChristianityElectronic books.Religion and culture.Resilience (Personality trait)Religious aspectsChristianity.291.1/75Percy Martyn887310UtOrBLWUtOrBLWBOOK9910465774403321The salt of the earth1982257UNINA
