James K. A. Smith writes philosophy and Christian cultural criticism about desire, habit, worship and the institutions that shape everyday life. Desiring the Kingdom argues that people are formed less by abstract ideas than by repeated practices and social rituals, using shopping centres, universities and churches as examples of what he calls cultural liturgies. You Are What You Love develops that argument for a broader audience, while How (Not) to Be Secular introduces Charles Taylor's account of modern secularity in more accessible form. On the Road with Saint Augustine combines theology, philosophy and memoir-like reflection around themes of restlessness and belonging. Smith's prose is energetic, concept-driven and aimed beyond specialists. His work fits Christian philosophy, cultural theology and books about habit, identity and secular modernity. Read more Less
