Book excerpt: From the halls of Harvard to the aisles of bookstores to the kitchen tables of Main Street, Americans are developing a new grammar of God that is fresh and rooted in history. Phyllis Tickle shows us snapshots of religion in America from the 1930s to the present. God-Talk in America argues that there is an emerging new understanding of who and what God is, and of what religion must do. As always, religion is being created in the streets and cafes and bedrooms and kitchens of real America rather than in the seminaries or cathedrals. Phyllis Tickle listens in those ordinary places and shows why a sea-change in religion, theology and spirituality is underway. Her book is both map of the present and compass to the future.
