Synopsis:

"The Holy Beyond Modern Dichotomies" is edited by Hans-Gunter Heimbrock, and Espen Dahl. Thanks to the recent return to religion, the holy has become a relevant issue in public debate as concepts such as re-sacralization and re-enchantment suggest. Holy war and religiously motivated terrorist attacks, the fascination in popular culture for subjects such as the Holy Grail (as in Dan Brown's "Da Vinci Code"), new spiritual longings both within and outside institutional religion - all testify to the new religious climate. This situation calls for a reassessment of both classical and new theories about the holy. This is what Espen Dahl is aiming to achieve in his book.
