Religion as Art Form

Overview

If you find books such as Richard Dawkins'' The God Delusion compelling but your faith heritage is also important to you, this book shows how you can affirm both.

Author's Perspective

Taking a cue from Marcus Borg''s contention that scriptural literalism is for many people a major impediment to authentic spirituality, Carl Jech describes how all religion can and should be much more explicit about its symbolic, metaphorical, and artistic nature.

Focus and Themes

With a particular focus on mortality and the relationship of humans to eternity, the book affirms a postmodern understanding of God as ultimate eternal Mystery and of spirituality as an artistic, (w)holistic, visionary, and creative process of becoming at home in the universe as it really is with all its joys and sorrows.

Target Audience

Religion as Art Form is a must-read for those who think of themselves as spiritual but not religious.
