Meet “the Nones”—In this thought-provoking exploration of secular America, celebrated journalist Katherine Ozment takes readers on a quest to understand the trends and ramifications of a nation in flight from organized religion. Studies show that religion makes us happier, healthier and more giving, connecting us to our past and creating tight communal bonds. Most Americans are raised in a religious tradition, but in recent decades many have begun to leave religion, and with it their ancient rituals, mythic narratives, and sense of belonging. So how do the nonreligious fill the need for ritual, story, community, and, above all, purpose and meaning without the one-stop shop of religion? What do they do with the space left after religion? With Nones swelling to one-fourth of American adults, and more than one-third of those under thirty, these questions have never been more urgent. Writer, journalist, and secular mother of three Katherine Ozment came face-to-face with the fundamental issue of the Nones when her son asked her the simplest of questions: “what are we?” Unsettled by her reply—“Nothing”—she set out on a journey to find a better answer. She traversed the frontier of American secular life, sought guidance in science and the humanities, talked with noted scholars, and wrestled with her own family’s attempts to find meaning and connection after religion. Insightful, surprising, and compelling, Grace Without God is both a personal and critical exploration of the many ways nonreligious Americans create their own meaning and purpose in an increasingly secular age.

In the course of a long and distinguished academic and civic career, the Canadian philosopher Charles Taylor has been, for articulate atheists and learned believers alike, an incisive, insightful, gracious, and challenging conversation partner on issues that arise at the intersection and interaction of religion, society, and culture. Grace and Freedom in a Secular Age offers a concise exposition of key ideas ? contingency, otherness, freedom, vulnerability and mutuality ? that inform his probing analyses of the dynamics of religious belief and religious denial in the pervasive contemporary culture he calls a "a secular age," within which religious belief and practice have, for many, become just an option. Those ideas provide the basis from which Rossi argues that, despite a clear-eyed recognition of the deep fractures of meaning and the pervasive fragmentation of once stable societal connections that a secular age has brought in its wake, Taylor also sees and affirms strong grounds for hope in a healing of our broken and fractured world and for the possibilities?and the importance of?active human participation in that healing. Taylor points to signs indicative of potent re-compositions and renewals taking place in religious belief and practice from its interaction with the dynamics of secular culture, particularly ones that make possible radical enactments of deeper human solidarity and mutuality, of which the one most often potent is the reconciliation of enemies. In pointing out these signs, Taylor suggests a richly expansive reading of the Christian doctrine of Creation, as it marks the radical contingency of all that is upon a freely bestowed divine self-giving: Creation is the ongoing enactment of the divine hospitality of the Triune God.

Teacher, pastor, and collumnist Dustin Messer offers a cultural apologetic which celebrates God's good grace in the world and confesses the church's failure to live up to the mission given to her by Christ. Secular Sacraments makes an argument for the Christian faith by engaging in this rhythm of cultural celebration and ecclesial confession. Even in our secular, de-mythologized West, the transcendent shines through, often in unexpected places--films, pop-music, etc. If we're looking with eyes of faith, we can see God's common grace in the world. The book's title is a double entendre, however. Not only are there pointers and signs of grace in the secular world, but if we look closely at the church, it's obvious that her sacramental life has too often become secularized. This book, then, seeks to celebrate the goodness in the world while confessing the sin that's in the church. As Abraham Kuyper used to say, "The world is often better than we might expect, and the church worse."

Europe is a relatively secular part of the world in global terms. Why is this so? And why is the situation in Europe so different from that in the United States? The first chapter of this book - the theme - articulates this contrast. The remaining chapters - the variations - look in turn at the historical, philosophical, institutional and sociological dimensions of these differences. Key ideas are examined in detail, among them: constitutional issues; the Enlightenment; systems of law, education and welfare; questions of class, ethnicity, gender and generation. In each chapter both the similarities and differences between the European and the American cases are carefully scrutinized. The final chapter explores the ways in which these features translate into policy on both sides of the Atlantic. This book is highly topical and relates very directly to current misunderstandings between Europe and America.

Drawing upon both Jewish and Christian scriptures, this book lays a groundwork for understanding how grace is a critical element of leadership and followership studies. This volume, divided into three sections, begins by defining the concept of grace leadership, using biblical examples. Part two discusses how grace leadership develops while the last part of the book offers contemporary examples of leaders displaying grace to their employees. With cases from the military as well as organizational perspectives, this edited collection adds a new wrinkle to the leadership literature and will appeal to scholars in HRM and organizational studies.

This book is the second in a series of essays by Fr. Dale Tupper, a senior priest from the Diocese of Winona-Rochester. His purpose is to reinforce the faith for Catholic disciples of Christ who live in this era of the secular in this 21st Century. His first book, The Blood of the Chalice, in the Era of the Secular, introduced the theme that the secular era has lost its way and that only by turning completely to Jesus Christ can we as disciples maintain our fidelity to the Gospel. In that regard, the ultimate gift us as Catholic is that of the Mass and Eucharist. In this volume, Grace, the Gateway, in the Era of the Secular, we need to recognize the absolute power of God's love for us, even in the midst of this inverted, alternative universe of Satan. Grace, in this world, is a kind of whisper in amongst an innuendo of noise. Perhaps that grace might best be found somewhere between the dissonance and melodies, in between the images and accents that make up everyday life. In the spaces that this world neglects, there is grace, for all to see. A third volume, yet to be written (God willing), will be dedicated to the power of the Holy Spirit in these times that are so agnostic.
