LOMBAARD, Christo. God's absence as characteristic of faith: Implicit religion and Edward Bailey (1935-2015). STJ [online]. 2016, vol.2, n.2, pp.257-272. ISSN 2413-9467.  https://doi.org/10.17570/stj.2016.v2n2.a12.

In this article, an analysis is provided of the concept of implicit religion as it was employed in the work of Edward Bailey. The methodology of implicit religion will be characterised and illustrated, also comparatively with brief reference to somewhat related matters in theology and in the social sciences. In broadest scope here, the concept of implicit religion is placed within post-secular context.

Keywords : Edward Bailey; implicit religion; post-secularism.
