Synopsis

One of the world's most prominent theologians offers insights and analysis on various topics in religion and spirituality, noting that the commonly expressed dichotomy between spiritual and religious is in many ways a false one: religion, church, and church structures all have their source and ground in spirituality. The broad range of topics explored in these essays befits the author s turn in recent years toward the interests of a seeking, questioning generation that finds more fruit in spirituality than in dogmatic religion. He also addresses interreligious dialogue, the uniqueness of the American church, and the connections between science and religion, among other topics.
