Reviews
"[This book] has all the earmarks of a cause celebre... Cox's treatment of 'secularization' is unflinching."--Daniel Callahan, Commonweal "[Cox] has opened up a full-scale debate."--Betty D. Mayo, Christian Science Monitor "Offers some brilliant insights... Fascinating and provocative."--Ronald H. Wolf, Journal of Economic Issues "I can think of few books in the past forty years that so thoroughly broke down so many walls between and among the sects, denominations, and churches that mark the religiously tangled American scene."--Michael Novak, First Things "Fresh, provocative, bold."--Robert J. O'Connell, S.J., Sociological Analysis "Poses significant questions and gives challenging answers."--Fred H. Blum, Ethics "With Pope Francis now in power, who seems more revolutionary than anyone before him, perhaps it is the perfect time for Cox's The Secular City to once again ignite our theological imaginations and continue the process of secularization and social change."--Robert Beghetto, European Legacy
