Why believe? What kinds of things do people believe in? How have
they come to believe them? And how does what they believe - or
disbelieve - shape their lives and the meaning the world has for
them? For Graham Ward, who is one of the mostinnovative writers on
contemporary religion, these questions are more than just academic.
They go to the heart not only of who but of what we are as human
beings. Over the last thirty years, our understandings of mind and
consciousness have changed in important ways through exciting new
developments in neuroscience. The author addresses this quantum
shift by exploring the biology of believing. He offers sustained
reflection on perception, cognition, time, emotional intelligence,
knowledge and sensation. Though the 'truth' of belief remains under
increasing attack, in a thoroughly secularised context, Ward boldly
argues that secularity is itself a form of believing. Pointing to
the places where prayer and dreams intersect, this book offers a
remarkable journey through philosophy, theology and culture,
thereby revealing the true nature of the human condition.
