Description
Why are the most unlikely people, including myself, suddenly talking about God? ... Why, just as we were confidently moving into a posttheological, postmetaphysical, even posthistorical era, has the God question suddenly broken out anew? (Eagleton 2009: 140) We witness a resurgence of faith worldwide. On the one hand, there is urban revivalism including charismatic movements and prosperity theologies, or ancestralism and shamanism, or the globalisation of Far Eastern religions. On the other hand, we have various forms of New Age and self-affiliated religious practices, new paganism and goddess rituals. The literature on 'mind, body and spirit' is diverse, suggesting engagements with 'the neuropsychology of spiritual experience', 'spiritual aspects of pain', 'spirituality in the workplace', spirituality and the curriculum', 'gay and lesbian spirituality', to name but a few. Then again, there are perversions of faith, such as vulgar fundamentalisms and acts of terrorism masquerading as religion.
