The Church in an Age of Secular Mysticisms Why Spiritualities without God Fail to Transform Us Andrew Root MINISTRY IN A SECULAR AGE In a secular age that offers a buffet of spiritualities focused on the self and on personal transformation, Andrew Root demonstrates the difference between these reigning mysticisms and an authentic Christian view of transformation. “A balm for those guilted by Instagram and self-help, Root’s book is both illuminating intellectual history and an essential guide for spiritual leaders navigating secular mysticisms.” —ERIN RAFFETY, Princeton University and Princeton Seminary “This thought-provoking book is an important read that challenges mainline pastors and congregations striving for relevance in the secular age.” —KERMIT MOSS, Lutheran Theological Southern Seminary
