Is sociology inherently a mode of secular materialism? Or, are there intellectual resources deep within the sociological tradition, expansively conceived, that offer the sociological imagination a spiritual 'post-secular' perspective on society and culture? This article draws out the subterranean theological stream of sociological consciousness and illuminates a 'sacramentalist' socio-theology with particular reference to the ‘iconic vision’ of Paul Evdokimov. In the context of late modernity, such a radical emphasis on the sacred foundations and transcendent potentialities of life provides the possibility of a fundamental critique of commodified profane culture and of sociology itself.
