Overview

A sequel of sorts both to Nicholas Mosley's recent novel God's Hazard and his classic nonfiction work Experience and Religion, this examination of the place of faith in contemporary culture embraces with cautious optimism the evidence of a growing thaw (in fiction, film, and public discourse) regarding the acceptance of religion in the modern world. Taking a stand against rationalist cynicism no less than mindless fundamentalism, Mosley argues for a clear-sighted form of faith based not on unquestioning certainty but on a continual reappraisal of what is good or right.
