In challenging the widespread assumptions and normative approaches to these complex and overlapping issues, a team of contributors from different disciplines argue that deeper cultural change, rather than technological and social advancement, is necessary in bringing about a just and sustainable transition.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUnited by the novel concept of the 'sacred ordinary' – a shared moral and imaginative ground where religious and secular perspectives meet – contributors reflect on the possibility of turning away from the dogma and creed for an everyday sacred that can be accessed by all.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eInformed by current research in indigenous knowledge, theology, sociology and psychology, contributors cover an impressive breadth of contexts; from Ubuntu and Inochi creation stories to Islamic environmental ethics, and analyses of malignant leadership to tools for regenerative resistance. Together, they present a new framework for regenerative thought that promises to unite our ailing cultural and political worlds.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is a ground-breaking contribution to post-secular life, arguing for spirituality's role in creating greater equality, understanding, and justice\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eIan Hughes\u003c\/b\u003e is Senior Research Fellow at University College Cork, Ireland.
