He shares his own heartbreaking personal journey through the briarpatch, and his church's remarkable experience of creating a community in which people walk through life's issues--even the darkest, most painful problems and questions--together.

He examines the development in \"Western Christendom\" of those aspects of modernity which we call secular. What he describes is in fact not a single, continuous transformation, but a series of new departures, in which earlier forms of religious life have been dissolved or destabilized and new ones have been created. As we see here, today's secular world is characterized not by an absence of religion--although in some societies religious belief and practice have markedly declined--but rather by the continuing multiplication of new options, religious, spiritual, and anti-religious, which individuals and groups seize on in order to make sense of their lives and give shape to their spiritual aspirations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat this means for the world--including the new forms of collective religious life it encourages, with their tendency to a mass mobilization that breeds violence--is what Charles Taylor grapples with, in a book as timely as it is timeless. .\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Spring Arbor Distributors","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover \/ Single","offer_id":49937940611143,"sku":"aon1793393099432","price":33.78,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0681\/5901\/2935\/files\/a-secular-age_1.jpg?v=1793393108"}],"url":"https:\/\/flatlockseamwear.shop\/collections\/book.oembed","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
