Spirituality has been defined in many ways throughout the centuries. But new, more modern spiritualities vie for adherents, affecting our lives, from education to national policies. What are these spiritualities and how do they differ from traditional beliefs? Who is seeking them and why? What benefits do they promise, and do they deliver?

Klappentext
Uncertainty, fear, personal crises, and a search for a sense of self have motivated many to seek traditional religion. But today new, more modern spiritualities vie for adherents. What are these spiritualities and how do they differ from traditional beliefs? Who is seeking them and why? What benefits do they promise, and do they deliver? These and other questions prompted 15 scholars in theology, biblical history, philosophy, anthropology, and science to convene at Westminster College-Oxford to explore answers for today and into the next century.
