{"product_id":"the-secular-city-harvey-cox-9780691158853","title":"The Secular City: Secularization and Urbanization in Theological Perspective","description":"Since its initial publication in 1965, The Secular City has been hailed as a classic for its nuanced exploration of the relationships among the rise of urban civilization, the decline of hierarchical, institutional religion, and the place of the secular within society. Now, half a century later, this international best seller remains as relevant as when it first appeared. The book's arguments--that secularity has a positive effect on institutions, that the city can be a space where people of all faiths fulfill their potential, and that God is present in both the secular and formal religious realms--still resonate with readers of all backgrounds. For this brand-new edition, Harvey Cox provides a substantial and updated introduction. He reflects on the book's initial stunning success in an age of political and religious upheaval and makes the case for its enduring relevance at a time when the debates that The Secular City helped ignite have caught fire once again.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Harvey Cox\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0691158851\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780691158853\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Princeton University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/08\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 408\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.57h x 5.57w x 1.09d","brand":"Harvey Cox","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43992282562815,"sku":"9780691158853","price":23.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4b5d73cb-fbba-4e2f-8330-439ab8796fb4.jpg?v=1683315138","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-secular-city-harvey-cox-9780691158853","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
