God Everywhere and Nowhere?: Theology, Pastoral and Education Challenged by a 'Sacred Revival'

The broad interest in The Da Vinci Code as a book and as a film says a lot about the experience of the phenomenon of religion in our time. Many people are fascinated by the references to pagan elements in the core of Christianity, the search for the Grail, the relationship between masculinity and femininity in religious experience, and so on. At the same time, we note that the era of the dominance of the traditional Christian story seems to be over for good. But this does not mean at all that 'religion' has lost its appeal, on the contrary. Various authors in this book note a broad interest in spiritual themes and in new forms of religiosity. In this book, theologians, psychologists and sociologists critically examine the question of how these new religious phenomena can be interpreted and evaluated. This book offers a great deal of background and inspiration for anyone who is interested in the phenomenon of religion in the broad sense. Teachers and pastors will find new starting points in this book to enter into discussions with young and old about philosophical and religious themes.
