"An idiosyncratic look at the spirit of Christianity, by one of the grand old men of comparative religions. Not as deep or insightful as a specialist might hope, and a little challenging in its choices of illustrations for the ordinary lay reader."

"I bought this book after reading Huston Smith's Why Religion Matters.

I was less impressed by this book than than Why Religion Matters, but that may have just been because I read it first and it was just so spectacularly amazing.

This was a more dense read. I had to read slowly, especially in part 1; parts 2 and 3 lightened up considerably.

I have learned quite a bit about Christianity from this book. It is a good, level-headed report that doesn't shrink from controversy, but rather reports it even-handedly where it matters and ignores it where it doesn't.

I heartily endorse it.

It is Mere Christianity for the 21st century, I'd say."

"Wellspring of philosophy: "the longing to be at home in the world is what keeps most of us from being at peace."

"To be human is to long for release from mundane existence with its confining walls of finitude and mortality."

"If anything characterize modernity it is the loss of the sense of transcendence - of a reality that exceeds and encompasses our every day affairs" - Peter Berger

"God is the conventional English name for the Infinite, but Good, True, Real, Almighty, One, etc. are equally accurate."

"God is defined by Jesus, he is not confined by Jesus."

"The Infinite is that out of which you cannot fall."

"Absolute perfection reigns." - Snowflakes falling/Each flake falls/in its own proper place - Zen haiku

"Science's technical language is math. Religion's technical language is symbolism, the science of the relations between the multiple levels of reality.""
