"Religion," this book begins, "is a mistrusted word now," and
Nicholas Mosley, in this engaging meditation, seeks to repair that
trust. Rather than trying to convince or compel the reader to
accept his beliefs, he describes how religion functions in the
modern world. Elsewhere, Mosley has written, "There is a subject
nowadays which is taboo in the way that sexuality was once taboo,
which is to talk about life as if it had any meaning." In this
book, he describes religion as the source of that meaning. Despair
is the fashionable attitude, but it is one Mosley, here and in his
many novels, rejects in favor of a cautious optimism. He writes not
to persuade, but to explain a worldview that is refreshing for the
hope and intelligence it contains.
