Aired Thursday, 5 October 2017, 7:00 PM ET Relocating God with Diana Butler Bass The headlines are clear: religion is on the decline in America as many people leave behind traditional religious practices. Diana Butler Bass, leading commentator on religion, politics, and culture, follows up her acclaimed book Christianity After Religion by arguing that what appears to be a decline signals a major transformation in how people understand and experience God. The distant God of conventional religion has given way to a more intimate sense of the sacred that is with us in the world. This shift, from a vertical understanding of God to a God found on the horizons of nature and human community, is at the heart of a spiritual revolution that surrounds us – and that is challenging not only religious institutions but political and social ones as well. In her book Grounded: Finding God in the World, A Spiritual Revolution, Diana Butler Bass explains how and why faith is no longer a matter of mountain top experience or institutional practice; instead, people are finding new spiritual ground by discovering and embracing God everywhere in the world around us—in the soil, the water, the sky; in our homes and neighborhoods; and in the global commons. About the Guest: Diana Butler Bass DIANA BUTLER BASS is the author of nine books on American religion, including Christianity After Religion, Christianity for the Rest of Us, and A People’s History of Christianity.

The question 'who is God?' used to be the starting point for religious reflection, but increasingly spiritual seekers are concerning themselves with the question 'where is God?'. We ask historian, religious commentator and author of Grounded: Finding God in the World, Diana Butler Bass, about her faith journey and how her shift from a vertical to a horizontal theology dramatically reshaped her faith and understanding of Church.

Following her last book, Christianity After Religion, religious scholar, Diana Butler Bass, returns to Religion For Life to ask, "Where is God?" The answer that many of the "spiritual but not religious" are discovering is that God is in the world of nature and human relationships. Her latest book, Grounded: Finding God in the World, A Spiritual Revolution weaves personal experience and analysis to point to signs of this theological shift.

This week I speak with Diana Butler Bass about her new book, "Grounded: Finding God in the World, a Spiritual Revolution," and the gradual evolution of her religious and spiritual convictions. We discuss her current mysticism, panentheism, and why she still finds value in theism and the Christian faith.You can buy her book here: http://www.amazon.com/dp/0062328549/Learn more about Diana Butler Bass at her website, www.dianabutlerbass.com.Learn more about Life after God at www.lifeaftergod.org.
