Summary:

"Harvey Cox's The Secular City evoked a storm of comment, both negative and positive. The most perceptive and interesting of these have been gathered together for this book by Daniel Callahan, associate editor of Commonweal. The critiques have been drawn from many sources, and include reviews and debates that have appeared in Christianity and Crisis and in Commonweal. To these are added a number of original articles discussing the book. Some of the criticisms are harsh; others praise Cox's insight and acumen. Among the contributors are James Gustafson of the Yale Divinity Scholl, Max Stackhouse, who is at Harvard Divinity School, Father Andrew Greeley, Michael Novak, Steven S. Schwarzschild, and others. The indispensable companion volume to the provocative and popular THE SECULAR CITY." - Publisher
