In this century, by contrast, religion, faith communities and spiritual values have returned to the centre of public life, especially public policy, governance, and social identity. Rapidly diversifying urban locations are the best places to witness the emergence of new spaces in which religions and spiritual traditions are creating both new alliances but also bifurcations with secular sectors. Postsecular Cities examines how the built environment reflects these trends. Recognizing that the 'turn to the postsecular' is a contested and multifaceted trend, the authors offer a vigorous, open but structured dialogue between theory and practice, but even more excitingly, between the disciplines of human geography and theology. Both disciplines reflect on this powerful but enigmatic force shaping our urban humanity. This unique volume offers the first insight into these interdisciplinary and challenging debates."--Bloomsbury Publishing.Continuum resources in religion and political culture.Cities and townsReligious aspectsReligion and sociologySociology & anthropologyCities and townsReligious aspects.Religion and sociology.306.6091732Baker Christopher Richard1961-Beaumont JustinUtOrBLWUtOrBLWBOOK9910781226703321Postsecular cities3749084UNINA
