Item description from seller

Hardcover. How do we talk meaningfully about the sacred in contexts where conventional religious expression has so often lost its power? Inspired by the influential work of David Jasper, this important volume builds on his thinking to identify sacrality in a world where the old religious and secular debates have exhausted themselves and theology struggles for a new language in their wake. Distinguished writers explore here the idea of the sacred as one that exists, paradoxically, in a space that is both possible and impossible: profoundly theological on the one hand, but also deeply this-worldly and irreligious on the other. This is a sacredness that is simultaneously 'present' and 'absent': one which encompasses as Jasper himself characterises it 'the impossible possibility of an absolute vision'. The book teaches us that the sacred assumes a renewed potency when fully engaged with the creativity that happens across religion, literature, philosophy and the arts. How do we talk meaningfully about sacrality in contexts where conventional religious engagement has so often lost its power? This important interdisciplinary volume teaches us that the idea of the sacred takes on new potency when fully engaged with the creativity that happens across religion, literature, philosophy and the arts.
