“In this marvelous addition to the series, editor Van Ness orchestrates a chorus of voices that explore the great variety of secular paths that seekers often traverse in search of the sacred. After a section examining historical periods and movements, a number of writers show how practices as diverse as 12-step programs and computer games often act as avenues to the sacred in the late 20^th century. Lucid prose and thoughtful religious reflections make this volume essential for all libraries.”
