Sensing the Spirit

More about the book

"Drawing on the work of Canadian philosopher Charles Taylor this book examines how secular culture affects both the living of Christian discipleship today and impacts how religious congregations engage in their own renewal and future. It argues that religious can do more than improve and fix the out of date conditions they met in the renewal after Vatican II. Today they are called to deepen and unfold further potentials by developing new directions and syntheses. Calling on environmental, sociological and theological insights it will ask how the ongoing "coming of the Kingdom" in the Spirit brings new gifts for these times and how congregations might respond beyond restorative or post Christian solutions to new challenges confronting them. This book offers a renewed meaning of religious life in secular life and the gift it offers and receives from every culture in which it is embedded"--
