How not to be secular by James Smith is a short commentary on Charles Taylor's mammoth work """"a seclar age"""". \\r\\n\\r\\nThe book follows Taylor's chapter by chapter chronologically. This book is a must read for anyone wanting to understand our secular age in which we live in. \\r\\nCharles Taylor is a catholic and it shows with the presuppositions that he has. Regardless of that, his conclusion i that the Protestant Reformation paved the way for disenchantment. By moving away from the body of the church and to a more individualistic Christianity, individualistic humanism started to flourish. \\r\\n\\r\\nTheres much more to be said about this timely and fantastic work. Highly recommended.
