- This book develops a new theoretical framework to understand the shifting relationships between religion, ethics and politics in urban life. It contributes to interdisciplinary debates about the postsecular, arguing against suggestions of a new epoch or societal shift beyond the secular, and instead developing the case for postsecularity as an ethically-attuned politics characterised by receptive generosity, rapprochement between religious and secular ethics, and a re-enchantment and re-shaping of desire towards common life. It draws on eight years of data to examine postsecularity in a series of innovative case studies, including foodbanks, addiction treatment, refugee activism, and community responses to earthquakes.
