Synopsis

For those not content with mainstream religion but who still feel the need for spiritual understanding, this book offers an alternative. Departing from a tableau of struggling churches and fading numbers of 'believers, ' the author invites readers to join him in mining meaning from an increasingly meaningless world. Discarding creeds and dogma, the author's series of reflections opens new possibilities for a personal spirituality springing from the readers' own experience.

What former voices have called 'faith, ' the author refers to as a hunch, a built-in part of human equipment. Drawing upon such varied sources as Socrates and Waylon Jennings, martyrs and dog trainers, he reveals a route to truth that lies unnoticed before our very eyes. Instead of swinging between the poles of creedalism and mere non-belief, he locates a posture that has little to do with either and gives agnosticism its proper place in the modern seeker's world.

À propos de l'auteur


Art Lester was born in Idaho, longer ago than he cares to remember. He grew up in Florida, where he worked as a journalist on a large daily newspaper. He studied English at UNC in Chapel Hill and stayed on to open a Mexican restaurant. In 1980, he moved to the UK, where he studied small-scale agriculture for poor countries. During the 1980s he worked in Botswana, The Dominican Republic and Kenya with marginal communities before returning to the UK and training for the Unitarian ministry. Since then, he has served in several British churches and has been minister at Croydon (South London) for the past 18 years. He has published widely and is the author of seven books, including the award-winning Seeing with Your Ears.
