Here is lively and challenging book for the intelligent enquirer who may wonder what all the fuss about religion has been! The author writes for people who believe that there is more to life than meets the eye, but who find the exclusive beliefs and practices of many religious people repellent and unconvincing. The book attempts to rescue religion as an inclusive phenomenon, which can bring people together to work for the flourishing of life on earth. It doesn"t avoid questions of truth, as many such attempts do. Readers may not agree with the book"s argument and conclusions. Nevertheless, they will be challenged to ask themselves: if not this, what interpretation of religion is best placed to humanize and divinize us?
