An intimate, philosophic quest for eternity, amidst the
disenchantments and disappointments of our time "Anyone who, in our
age of disbelief, longs to believe in God will find Mr. Kronman
worth reading."-Andrew Stark, Wall Street Journal "Aims to persuade
America's 'relentlessly rational' elites to acknowledge the
existence of 'divinity.' . . . Kronman's ambition is to repair 'the
schism between those for whom religion continues to matter and
those who view it with amusement or contempt.'"-Tunku Varadarajan,
Wall Street Journal Many people of faith believe the meaning of
life depends on our connection to an eternal order of some kind.
Atheists deride this belief as a childish superstition. In this
wise and profound book, Anthony Kronman offers an alternative to
these two entrenched positions, arguing that neither addresses the
complexities of the human condition. We can never reach God, as
religion promises, but cannot give up the longing to do so either.
We are condemned by our nature to set goals we can neither abandon
nor fulfill, yet paradoxically are able to approach more closely if
we try. The human condition is one of inevitable disappointment
tempered by moments of joy. Resolutely humanistic and theologically
inspired, this moving book offers a rational path to the love of
God amidst the disenchantments of our time.
