Description: "This is a sparkling collection of essays by one of Britain's best-known and acute commentators of the church scene and of contemporary religious life. Martyn Percy explores new liberalism, the churches and human rights in the European Union, football and religion, pilgrimage, demonology, common spirituality, religious attitudes to nudity, and the relationship between religion and advertising. The argument running throughout this book is that despite claims-and the appearance-of increasing secularity, the influence of religious themes and values on our everyday life remains pervasive."--Bloomsbury Publishing.
