Review :
'Led by two influential scholars, this volume brings together a rich diversity of contributions from theology and social science disciplines to elaborate on the postsecular city, including its expressions and limitations. The volume promises to stimulate further dialogue about the simultaneous rapprochement and bifurcation between the sacred and the secular in the city. Consequently, both advocates and critics of the "postsecular city" will be challenged to think more deeply about the place of religion, faith and spirituality in the contemporary city.' Professor Lily Kong, National University of Singapore Reviewed in Archives de Sciences Sociales des Religions.
