Después de Dios. La religión y las redes de la ciencia, el arte, las finanzas y la política

Rate this book
En un mundo en el que ser es estar conectado, Mark C. Taylor señala la necesidad de conocer la tradición religiosa occidental para mejor comprender los complejos sistemas y redes de la era de la globalización. El desconocimiento de nuestra tradición religiosa ha hecho imposible descubrir la estrecha relación entre secularidad y religión. Más que haber desaparecido, el fenómeno religioso ha quedado en estado latente en la filosofía, la literatura, el arte, la arquitectura, la política, la economía, la ciencia y la tecnología. El autor de esta magna obra analiza el curso de nuestra cultura a partir de la revolución que supuso la Reforma de Lutero y el protestantismo y sus efectos en el mundo de la información y los medios de comunicación. En una época que está después de Dios, pero que también sigue su rastro, este libro se abre a una radical y novedosa concepción de la divinidad entendida como la emergencia de la creatividad en el hombre.

Meaty and thoroughly enjoyable, albeit not a casual read. I value Taylor's ability to integrate historical event and cultural import. He does us a good service in acknowledging that even clergy (whatever the religious persuasion) rarely think theologically and sets out a definition of "religion" as a schemata that is constantly teetering between stability and flux.

Unless you are studying religion, avoid this.

Unnecessarily complicated, feels like he is trying to boost the average word length by putting in overly complicated words (I understand them, but don’t see the need)

The worst part though are the constant references to all kinds of works/ideas that are assumed you have already read. You might if you are a religious scholar, but not so for the rest of us...

Did not end up finishing the book :-(

There is much to this book balancing immanence and transcendence.

Written in an extremely annoying and unnecessarily overcomplicated language, based on the first chapter. Will not finish the book.
