Seduction of the Spirit: The Use and MI

Harvey Cox's two previous books, The Secular City and The Feast of Fools (both of them original, influential best sellers), have made him the best known and most iconoclastic writer on religion in America today.

Harvey Cox's new book is about the roots of religious feeling, about the need to find in the complex aspects of contemporary life—the new awakening of the encounter movement and the growing interest in Eastern mysticism—the sources of a new religion, with its own theology, its own morality, its own symbolism, which will be, in effect, a "people's religion."

He has been actively associated with the Blue Hill Christian Center, an inner-city ministry in the Boston area, and is a leader in the civil rights movement. He spent 1962-63 studying at the Free University of Berlin and, as an ecumenical worker for the Gossner Mission, helped maintain two-way communication
between Christians of East and West Berlin. He is the author of the popular book The Secular City, as well as many articles.
