The Next Step in Religion: An Essay toward the Coming Renaissance

Description

In The Next Step in Religion, Roy Wood Sellars offers a profound meditation on the evolution of religious belief and the potential for a modern spiritual renaissance. Rather than dismissing faith as outdated, Sellars argues that religious commitment has undergone historical transformations and is capable of renewal in the contemporary era. He examines how religious language and practice have shifted over centuries and proposes that a new form of religious expression could emerge from these developments. This essay is not a call for traditional religious revival but an exploration of how religious meaning can be reconfigured in a secular age. Sellars engages with philosophy of religion, theological history, and contemporary religious studies to build his case for a coming renaissance. For anyone interested in the future of faith, the philosophy of religion, or the cultural role of religious institutions, this book provides a compelling and intellectually rigorous framework.
