This book may be of interest to those who are ‘not religious, but spiritual’, but who are perhaps a little hazy about their spirituality. It is a quest for Truth, an exploration of the ‘Big Questions’ such as “Where did we all come from?” “What happens to us when we die?” “Is there a God?” and so on. The author examines the reasons for the phenomenal decline in Christianity over the last 50 years, and looks at the recent popularity of the New Atheists. Then he considers topics such as science versus religion; evolution and the origins of the universe; the virgin birth and the resurrection; the power or impotence of prayer; pain, suffering and healing; sin and pleasure. Among many other intriguing questions, he asks: “where should one stand regarding religion if one is neither religious nor irreligious?”
