There is a worrying amount of certainty about these days. Religious fundamentalism slugs it out with atheist absolutism. Righteous war is waged and its leaders enlist God as their judge. As our grip on life’s meaning becomes increasingly less sure, the more it seems we grasp for assurance.
In this entertaining yet thought-provoking memoir, Nicholas Axam charts his journey from non-believer to a kind of belief, not in religious dogma or scientific evidence alone but in his own truths, and explains how a movement mocked and maligned by both atheist and Church for its refusal to commit to the orthodoxies of our age could hold the key to a fresh understanding of what it means to be alive.
