Perspectives on Post-Christendom Spiritualities: Evangelical Reflections on New Religions and Western Spiritualities

Religion continues to play a significant role in the spiritual marketplace of the religiously unregulated West.  The corresponding decline of religious fervor once associated with the secularization thesis is challenged by the notion that a significant majority of Westerners identify themselves as religious and/or spiritual.  Today’s Christian will be confronted with multiple religious worldviews, whether in ministry, the workplace or their neighborhood.  Developing the academic knowledge and practical skills to effectively engage these worldviews is a necessary part of equipping Christians to engage their local and global contexts.
