    • From the Introduction:

    The word “religion” is rooted in the Latin term that refers to things that bind. In many ways, what we often think of as being religious are those …that we use to keep us together. They are things that bind us to one another and keep us from personally falling apart in the face of the inherent adversities of life.…this is a book about religion in the most basic sense of the term. In this book are words that have been used to bind people together through their ability to express an experience of a transcendent life.
