"What an amazing philosophical book. I honestly believe that this is a must-read for an artist, anyone interested in science, religion, and basically every member of western society. It gives such a fresh and cogent account of where we come from as a society, where we are, and where we could (but also should) go."
"To be quite honest...this book is an incredibly difficult read (or at least it was for me). I thought I was pretty intellectual until I read this. Barfield was a member of the Inkilings Literary group that included C.S Lewis and Tolkien and his thoughts are extremely profound once you figure out what the heck he's saying. Read this in a Psychology of Religion class and it really left a mark and kept me thinking for a long....long...time:)"
"Just reread this after a 12 year gap - one of the books that set my career in media in motion. I had ZERO comprehension of this one the first time around."
