About this Item

8vo 204pp. stated second printing. from front flap: "The Mask of Religion is a book of reflections, based on sermons, about the meaning of religion in an age afflicted with meaninglessness and despair. Because we doubt, we can only speak of the Ultimate from behind the amsk of symbol, myth, and metaphor. Even science, at its frontiers, transcends the human capacity to understand. To explain what they sense to be true, scientists, like theologians, resort to metaphor and symbol. Peter Fleck approaches the ambiguity of human experience with awe, and thoughtfulness, and compassion." signed and inscribed by author on FFEP. #00887. near fine: clean, square, tight. inscribed by author on FFEP: "To Marie Boyle with all best wishes from Peter Fleck Star Island August 30, 1984" good: age toning, fading around edges, corner chipping, NOT clipped ($7.95).
