| Publisher Description: "A beautiful book and a Cox classic....Readers will be grateful that they joined him on his journey." --E.J. Dionne Jr., author of Souled Out "Insightful, provocative, and inspiring--I even found myself uttering a hearty evangelical 'Amen '" --Richard Mouw, President, Fuller Theological Seminary, and author of Calvinism in the Las Vegas Airport The Future of Faith is Harvard religion scholar Harvey Cox's landmark exploration of why Christian dogmatism is giving way to a grassroots Christianity rooted in social justice and spirituality. Cox laid the groundwork for modern religious writing with his 1965 classic, The Secular City, paving the way for writers like Diana Butler Bass, Karen Armstrong, Stephen Prothero, and Deepak Chopra, who calls The Future of Faith "a fresh vision for the resurrection of a new global Christianity." |
