-Titulo Original : Strange Rites New Religions For A Godless World
-Fabricante :
PublicAffairs
-Descripcion Original:
A sparklingly strange odyssey through the kaleidoscope of Americas new spirituality: the cults, practices, high priests and prophets of our supposedly post-religion age. Fifty-five years have passed since the cover of Time magazine proclaimed the death of God and while participation in mainstream religion has indeed plummeted, Americans have never been more spiritually busy. While rejecting traditional worship in unprecedented numbers, todays Americans are embracing a kaleidoscopic panoply of spiritual traditions, rituals, and subcultures -- from astrology and witchcraft to SoulCycle and the alt-right.As the Internet makes it ever-easier to find new tribes, and consumer capitalism forever threatens to turn spirituality into a lifestyle brand, remarkably modern American religious culture is undergoing a revival comparable with the Great Awakenings of centuries past. Faith is experiencing not a decline but a Renaissance. Disillusioned with organized religion and political establishments alike, more and more Americans are seeking out spiritual paths driven by intuition, not institutions. In Strange Rites, religious scholar and commentator Tara Isabella Burton visits with the techno-utopians of Silicon Valley; Satanists and polyamorous communities, witches from Bushwick, wellness junkies and social justice activists and devotees of Jordan Peterson, proving Americans are not abandoning religion but remixing it. In search of the deep and the real, they are finding meaning, purpose, ritual, and communities in ever-newer, ever-stranger ways. Review A revelatory survey of the increasingly transfigured American spiritual landscape. Publishers Weekly Burtons writing is challenging, educational, and electric, combining big-picture thinking with deep-dive immersion...Readers will come away with enlightened and altered thinking. Booklist A bracing tour through the myriad forms of bespoke spiritualism and makeshift quasireligions springing up across America. The Wall Street JournalAn essential work for anyone interested in understanding--or addressing--our rapidly transforming cultural and religious landscape. Christianity TodayAny good historian of religion knows that its possible for a culture to become less and more religious at the same time--an insight that Tara Isabella Burton uses on an illuminating journey through the many unorthodox forms of faith emerging in post-religious America. With a novelists knack for storytelling, Burton shows in scintillating detail how the unquenchable longing for connection and transcendence is merging with carnal desires and the capitalist marketplace to produce new sacred spaces and experiences of enchantment. Read Strange Rites. Its a revelation. Damon Linker, Senior Correspondent at TheWeekA lesser writer and a colder intellect would have been content simply to mock the video-gaming, Soul-Cycling communicants of our Remixed Great Awakening. Yet in Strange Rites, Tara Isabella Burton grasps that strangeness entails ecstatic power as well as oddity, and that even folly in search of transcendent meaning merits empathy, not apathy--the difference between a merely lively read and a profound one. Giselle Donnelley, Research fellow at the American Enterprise Institute for Public Policy ResearchRigorously researched and reported with scholarly curiosity and an eye on the zeitgeist, Tara Isabella Burtons Strange Rites takes a hard look at whats replacing traditional religious practice in American culture today and finds that the thirst for community and belonging has not gone away.
