- This book develops a new theoretical framework to understand shifting relationships between religion, ethics and politics in contemporary urban life. It contributes to interdisciplinary debates about the postsecular, arguing against suggestions of societal shift beyond the secular, and instead developing the case for postsecularity as an ethically-attuned politics characterised by 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 collection to examine emergent postsecularity via innovative case studies, including foodbanks, addiction treatment, refugee humanitarian activism, community responses to the Christchurch earthquakes in New Zealand.
