 Secrecy: Silence, Power, and Religion by Hugh B. Urban 2021 | ISBN: 022674664X, 022674650X | English | 264 pages | PDF | 4 MB The powers of political secrecy and social spectacle have been taken to surreal extremes recently. Witness the twin terrors of a president who refuses to disclose dealings with foreign powers while the private data of ordinary citizens is stolen and marketed in order to manipulate consumer preferences and voting outcomes.

In this bracing, new work, Hugh Urban wants us to focus these same powers of observation on the role of secrecy in religion.
