Is it possible to critique secularism in a thoroughly secular age? Is it possible to invoke the divine while dwelling within the “immanent frame”—i.e., the modern view that everything in our world can be understood without reference to any external, transcendent order? I want to suggest, in this essay, that we can critique secularism in a secular age, but only by identifying the metaphysical boundaries of the secular age—those boundaries that demarcate the real from the unreal, and the legitimate from the illegitimate.
