Why does God survive, flourish even, in our secular age? This book
recognizes that religion and science, two different ways of making
sense of the world, are indeed irreconcilable. It does not seek to
fit either one into the world view of the other. Instead it argues
that we need to embrace this incompatibility, and recognize that
this mystery stems from essential facts about the psychological
make up of the human being. The book draws on two sources of data
to advance its argument; the findings of cognitive science about
the limitations and characteristics of the way in which our brains
are wired up, and experience; experience documented by revered
mystics of the past, and experience of people of our time who have
ventured into the borderland between mysticism and madness. We need
a more sophisticated understanding of spirituality to recognize how
our yearning for the sacred can be abused and exploited, whether by
dangerous fundamentalism or cynical capitalist advertising.
