The Legendary Harvard Religion Scholar Offers Up a New Interpretation of the History and Future of Religion
In this major work, Harvey Cox, Harvard University religion scholar and groundbreaking author, offers a landmark interpretation of why Christian beliefs and dogma are giving way to new grassroots movements rooted in social justice and spiritual experience.

• The Age of Faith: when the early church was more concerned with following Jesus s teachings than enforcing what to believe about Jesus
• The Age of Belief: lasting from the fourth to the middle of the twentieth century; the church focused on orthodoxy and right beliefs
• The Age of the Spirit: a trend that began in the 1960s; spirituality is replacing formal religion as the influence of dogma declines and the sharp contrasts between different religious traditions continues to erode
Reflecting on how his own faith journey mirrors these three historical shifts, Cox personalizes the material in compelling, practical ways. The Future of Faith is a major statement by one of the most revered theologians today
