Summary

This chapter applies material drawn from previous chapters to the West, specifically the modernization/secularization narrative of progressive development. It challenges this by viewing religion as more than belief, comprised of four dimensions: the theoretical, practical, experiential, and political, and showing how concentrated and diffuse spirituality are distributed across these, sometimes in complementary, sometimes in dialectical opposition.
