Description
In an accessible yet visionary new account, Chris Baker and John Reader reflect on the contrasting new roles of religion in public life. The writers suggest that with the failure of the Enlightenment project and the rise of globalisation, religion has powerfully allied itself with ethnic and nationalist identities, creating sharp divisions. Yet in contrast new 'spaces of convergence' and creative partnerships also begin to emerge, often led by religious leaders and faith-based organisations.
Baker and Reader suggest that there is an increasing desire to build a "more civil" civil society. They argue that in 2016, many are searching for optimistic and progressive new forms of politics. What is more, religion and belief play a crucial role in developing these much needed new opportunities for engagement.
