"A strong argument for the appeal and relevance of a liberal theology." --Gary Dorrien, Reinhold Niebuhr Professor of Social Ethics, Union Theological Seminary This book employs the expertise of multiple scholars across disciplines (theology, philosophy, religion, political science, social science, economics, and geography) sharing 'post-secular' approaches to globalization, grounded in religious (particularly Christian) thought and practice.... Attentive reading of After Modernity? will reward advanced undergraduate, graduate, and scholarly audiences appreciably. -- Steven B. Sherman, Regent University -- Religious Studies Review Luke Bretherton's analysis on the care of refugees... is compelling and powerful and makes this otherwise valuable book indispensable. -- CHOICE
