Being Christian in a Secular Age: A PilgrimageDiscussion 2—Stories of the Secular What is the story we all tell ourselves about how we got to this Secular Age? And is it true? Over the span of five episodes, I'm joined by the Rev'd Justin McIntosh, Rector of St Paul's Episcopal Church in Ivy, Virginia to discuss Being a Christian in a Secular Age. In this second episodes, we trace the Master Narratives that underwrite the Social Imaginary of our modern, Secular Age and its correlative Exclusive Humanism. Here we draw on Charles Taylor's magisterial work, A Secular Age, as well as James K. A. Smith's How (Not) to Be Secular. Other sources for our discussion that remain yet unmentioned but are no less important are David Bentley Hart's Atheist Delusions, William Cavanaugh's The Myth of Religious Violence, and Jason Ā. Josephson-Storm's The Myth of Disenchantment.
