Description
The Secular City explores the relationships between urban civilization, the decline of hierarchical religion, and the role of secularity in society. First published in 1965, this influential work remains relevant today.
Harvey Cox argues that secularity has a positive effect on institutions, that cities can be spaces where people of all faiths fulfill their potential, and that God is present in both secular and formal religious realms. This updated edition includes a new introduction by the author, reflecting on the book's enduring relevance.
First published half a century ago, The Secular City continues to resonate with readers from diverse backgrounds. Its arguments remain pertinent, offering insights into the complex relationships between faith, society, and urbanization.
