Contents:
1. Distinguishing religion and spirituality : findings from Kendal -- 2. Testing the spiritual revolution claim in Kendal -- 3. Evidence for a spiritual revolution : Britain and USA -- 4. Bringing the sacred to life : explaining sacralization and secularization -- 5. Looking to the future.
Review: "This book presents findings from a major research project designed to chart the state of religion and spirituality today. Though it finds little to support more extreme claims of change, it discovers that spiritualities which engage with the depths of personal experience are faring far better than religions that demand conformity to higher truth. These developments are explained by drawing attention to the significance of a 'subjective turn' in the wider culture - whereby conformity to external obligations becomes less important than sensitivity to inner life and wellbeing."--BOOK JACKET.
