Biography
Justin Beaumont is Honorary Research Fellow at the School of Geography, Queen Mary University of London, UK.
'This is an exceptionally strong collection examining one of the defining issues of our era. Readers will find it both broadens and deepens their thinking about changing roles of religion and secularism in contemporary society.' - Craig Calhoun, Professor of Social Sciences, Arizona State University, USA
'It is increasingly clear that what comes after postmodernity is not really the vaguely defined neo-modern, which is little more than a wave of nostalgia, but rather the post-secular, which is also a more genuine post-modern. It manifests itself variously as the challenge of other non-secular cultures, of the pre-modern and alternatively modern west, of the extra-human and the unavoidably metaphysical. This fine collection well represents this variety in both its disparity and its aspects of unity.' - John Milbank, Emeritus Professor of Religion, Politics and Ethics, University of Nottingham, UK
