Author: Sean McGrathChristianity | Christian spirituality & religious experiencePublished on 9th December 2025 by Collective Ink (Christian Alternative) in the United Kingdom.Paper back / softback | 264 pages 142mm x 215mm x 21mm | 310g In this genre defying book, author Sean McGrath explains why we must look more closely at our secular society’s religious roots to counteract the destructive spiritual forces consumerism has unleashed on the earth. Modernity, the author argues, is a Christian heresy. It can only be corrected through a religious conversion of Christians, post-Christians, and their children. What must be recovered is Christianity’s contemplative and mystical attitude — but it must be recovered in a non-nostalgic way that moves forward into the ecological civilization that is coming to painful birth in our time. The Lost Road is, in part, an autobiographical narrative that recounts a life-long search for contemplative Christianity, as well as an ongoing interrogation into why it’s so difficult to find, sustain, and share.
