ABSTRACT
The postsecular ‘breakdown of the [secular] philosophical prohibition of religion’ (Vattimo 1998: 91) has been conducive to the emergence of exciting hybrid combinations of theology and secular humanities that reflect (and engender) renewed interest in spiritual matters. At one time, (post)secular theology would have been interpreted as a contradiction in terms. At present, however, it appears that even theology—which may well be considered the heart of religion, especially in Christianity—could not escape the secular shift, nor could the secular escape theology.
