God is back
Book Description
In an era when many predicted religion's decline, a powerful counter-narrative emerges across the globe. This illuminating exploration reveals how faith is experiencing an unprecedented resurgence, reshaping nations and challenging long-held assumptions about the modern world.
From the bustling streets of São Paulo to the political corridors of Moscow, religious movements are gaining unprecedented influence. Countries that once rejected or actively suppressed spiritual practices now find themselves led by openly devout leaders. This transformation spans continents, touching diverse cultures from Turkey to India, creating a new global landscape where faith and progress intersect in unexpected ways.
The authors take readers on a compelling journey through this religious renaissance, examining everything from spiritual healing practices in Brazil to the growth of underground churches in China. They reveal how televangelism thrives in California while religious tensions simmer in Nigeria, painting a vivid picture of faith's multifaceted revival.
Central to this global awakening is a distinctly American approach to spirituality, one that embraces competition and treats religious experience as a personal choice rather than inherited tradition. This customer-focused model of faith is spreading worldwide, challenging the Enlightenment assumption that modernization inevitably weakens religious belief.
For those seeking to understand how spirituality continues to evolve in our interconnected world, this analysis offers crucial insights into religion's enduring power to adapt, survive, and flourish in contemporary society.
