After Modernity? Summary

After Modernity?: Secularity, Globalization, and the Reenchantment of the World by James K. A. Smith

After Modernity? addresses a cluster of questions and issues found at the nexus of globalization and religion. This unique volume examines various religious--especially Christian--evaluations of and responses to globalization. In particular, the book considers the links among globalization, capitalism and secularization-and the ways in which religion is (or can be) deployed to address a range of hot button topics. With cross-disciplinary analyses, the collection argues consistently for the necessity of a post-secular evaluation of globalization that unapologetically draws on the resources of Christian faith. The conservative radicalism represented in these contributions will resonate with a broad audience of scholars and citizens who seek to put faith into action.

After Modernity? Reviews

A strong argument for the appeal and relevance of a liberal theology. --Gary Dorrien, Reinhold Niebuhr Professor of Social Ethics, Union Theological Seminary
This book employs the expertise of multiple scholars across disciplines (theology, philosophy, religion, political science, social science, economics, and geography) sharing 'post-secular' approaches to globalization, grounded in religious (particularly Christian) thought and practice.... Attentive reading of After Modernity? will reward advanced undergraduate, graduate, and scholarly audiences appreciably. -- Steven B. Sherman, Regent University -- Religious Studies Review
Luke Bretherton's analysis on the care of refugees... is compelling and powerful and makes this otherwise valuable book indispensable. -- CHOICE
