Migrations of the Holy

More about the book

William Cavanaugh explores the shift of religious devotion in the modern world, arguing that rather than diminishing, faith has transformed, now centering on the nation-state as a new object of worship. Through this examination, he reveals how sacred fervor persists in contemporary society, challenging the notion that religion has disappeared in the West. The book delves into the implications of this migration of the holy, offering a thought-provoking perspective on the intertwining of faith and nationalism.
