“For the last four decades, Harvey Cox has been the leading trend spotter in American religion.”—Stephen Prothero, author of Religious Literacy Harvey Cox's book The Secular City, first published in 1965, is an international bestseller and widely regarded as one of the most influential books of Protestant theology of the last 50 years. His research and teaching interests focus on the interaction of religion, culture, and politics. Until his retirement in 2009 from Harvard University, Cox taught extensively on the intersection between Christianity and Islam and the rise of fundamentalism in both religions. In his book The Future of Faith (2009) he discussed the rise of fundamentalism in the ever-changing world, and why he thinks it will ultimately fail. "Harvey Cox is the most important liberal theologian of the last half century."—E.J. Dionne, Jr., author of Souled Out, and columnist for The Washington Post "Harvey Cox has been a voice of both reason and faith in our cynical times."—Deepak Chopra, author of Jesus: A Story of Enlightenment
