Paperback. Condition: NEW. Print on Demand. This book explores the convergence of fundamentalist and modernist perspectives on religion, revealing the contentious debate between them. It examines the views of both camps, acknowledging their steadfastness and crudity, respectively. The author then presents a nuanced perspective, highlighting the tension between blind faith and the need for critical analysis. They argue that a skeptical approach to religious dogma allows for a deeper appreciation of its poetic and imaginative qualities, apart from rational justification. The book explores how this perspective unlocks the aesthetic beauty embedded in religious traditions, particularly in the mythologies and rituals of Christianity. By situating the book's ideas within the broader contexts of history and philosophy, it delves into the themes of faith, doubt, and the human search for meaning in the face of existential uncertainty. Ultimately, the book offers a thought-provoking exploration of the tension between the rational and the mystical in religion.
