Anotácia knihy

Drawing on theories of critical postmodernism and§social constructionism, this books aims to unpack the§incomplete meta-narratives of religion§that are prevalent today even within the post-modern§turn. By examining meanings which§underpin discourses of religion and modernity,§community, faith and resistance, a diverse map is§drawn which alludes to the complexity of religious§expression in the contemporary world that is§presently unacknowledged. As the terrain and§understanding of religion changes through dominant§narratives of secularization and fundamentalism,§religious and faith spaces are also responding and§constructing identities accordingly. This book argues§that faith communities can offer an environment that§allows for people of faith, as their identities shift§with local and global challenges (both perceived and§real), to find meaning in their experiences and§collectively engage in resisting dominant cultural§narratives. As individuals increasingly perceive§their world as volatile, faith communities can§provide needed spaces in which individuals and§communities navigate their identities as activists,§people of faith,and global citizens.
