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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor this brand-new edition, Harvey Cox provides a substantial and updated introduction.
