The Spirituality Gap: Searching for Meaning in a Secular Age by Abi Millar and Why We Believe: Finding Meaning in Uncertain Times by Alister McGrath

The Spirituality Gap: Searching for Meaning in a Secular Age is the work of science writer Abi Millar .

In Why We Believe: Finding Meaning in Uncertain Times , Alister McGrath takes a more intellectual route.

Both are written against the backdrop that Christianity is in decline in Britain .

In 2021 , the number of people in England and Wales identifying as Christian will drop to below 50 per cent of the population.

The book is about a class of people who declare themselves, in answer to the question “what do you believe?” Most “nones” are not straightforwardly secular.

Many retain an appreciation of spirituality; they are sympathetic to other religions; most are uncertain if there is a God or not.

The Spiritual Gap: The Spirituality Gap: Searching for Meaning in a Secular Age is published by Abi Millar Duckworth .

Millar 's investigation into spirituality could be seen as the practical counterpart to McGrath ’s theoretical claims about our human need to believe in things greater and more profound than what we see before us.

She questions the very existence of the “spirituality gap” or if such a term is not simply a marketing tool.
