Being Spiritual but Not Religious by William B Parsons

Being Spiritual but Not Religious by William B Parsons

This edited collection speaks to what national surveys agree is a growing social phenomenon referred to as the Spiritual but Not Religious Movement (SBNRM). Each essay of the volume engages the past, present and future(s) of the SBNRM.

"This book makes a substantial contribution to the complexities and particularities of the penumbras of religion that are only apparently newSBNR is here to stay as long as some define themselves or others in opposition to “religion.” That this is a major phenomenon of western culture does not mean that it is universal nor that its significance is thereby diminished. We definitely need more nuanced studies of SBNR, for which this collection of essays is a provocative prolegomenon."
