Beschreibung

<b>Belief: surely it’s a relic from the past, a hangover from a superstitious age that is totally out of sync with today’s rational, science-led culture?</b><br> <br><b>'A timely, often bracing and always highly stimulating book.' Tom Holland, author of <i>Dominion </i>and co-host of <i>The Rest is History</i></b><br> <br>In today’s science-driven, rational world, belief is dismissed as an artefact of a bygone era – something absurd at best, harmful at worst. The prevailing narratives paint belief as primitive, weird, even dangerous.<br> <br>But as life grows ever more confusing and our societies more atomised, contemplating something bigger than ourselves has never been more vital.<br> <br>Alister McGrath offers a fresh perspective on belief, presenting it not as a weakness of rational thought but as an essential tool for navigating uncertainty. Elegant and thought-provoking,<i> Why We Believe</i> reveals how belief provides meaning in the face of existential despair, how it fosters community and offers solace.<br> <br>As society moves beyond the dismissive rhetoric surrounding people of faith, here is a powerful manifesto for the re-enchantment of the Western mind.<br> <br><b>'Scholarly, compulsively readable and with gems of information on every page... a must read.' Revd Fergus Butler-Gallie, author of <i>A Field Guide to the English Clergy</i></b>
