In this episode, Kendra and Edwin delve more deeply into what we mean by a “post-Christian world.” A post-Christian culture is one in which, not only does the church have less power or influence, but in which for a growing group of people the Christian faith, or any kind of religious outlook, is increasingly implausible or irrelevant. Kendra and Edwin discuss what this means, and where such post-Christian way of life comes from, by reflecting on the work of three cultural commentators. Charles Taylor is a Canadian philosopher whose book The Secular Age is generally seen as the analysis of Western secularization. Hartmut Rosa is a German sociologist whose books on Social Acceleration and Resonance give a detailed description of the dynamics of modern life and what these dynamics do to our ability to experience God. And the Dutch professor of secularization study Herman Paul wrote several books giving a unique analysis of the ways secularization shaped Dutch culture. Together, these three thinkers give us the concepts that will help us reflect on the conversations in future episodes.
