This review is from: Seduction of the Spirit: The Use and Misuse of People"s Religion (Paperback)Harvey Cox (born 1929) is an ordained American Baptist minister who also taught theology at Harvard Divinity School. He has also written books such as The secular City, On not leaving it to the snake, The Feast Of Fools - A Theological Essay On Festivity And Fantasy, Turning East, etc.He wrote in the Preface to this 1973 book, "I realize that one more book on what religion should do or be will not make a difference... It can only help if it becomes itself a part of the counterattack against the discrepant power of signals... It must itself be both a testimony and an endorsement of people"s religion. So I will not register here the conventional apology for all the "personal references" in the pages to follow. My telling my own story is in part at least what the whole book is about."
