Why was it virtually impossible not to believe in God in, say, 1500 in our Western society, while in 2016 many people find it more difficult to believe than not? This is the question that Philosopher Charles Taylor tackles in his massive book "A Secular Age." In this episode, James K. A. Smith joins us to talk about Taylor's work. What was it like to believe in God in the past and what is it like for many believers todayand how did we get from there to here? Whether you find it easy or difficult to believe in God today, you'll find much food for thought in Smith's book "How (Not) to be Secular: Reading Charles Taylor."
