Blurb: “One in four Americans rejects any affiliation with organized religion, and nearly half of those under thirty describe themselves as "spiritual but not reli-gious." But while preachers and pundits harangue them, who speaks for those who refuse to reduce the mystery and wonder of existence to a simple yes/no choice?
Lesley Hazleton does. A widely admired writer on religion, she champions the agnostic stance as the most vibrant, engaging-and ultimately most honest -approach to a meaningful, thinking life. By liberating agnosticism from its stereotypes, as atheism lite on the one hand and amorphous "seeking" on the other, Hazleton reveals to us a sustaining and mind-opening engagement with "the big questions." Agnostic combines reason and passion, drawing on psychology, physics, philosophy, theology, and more to explore the vital role of mystery in a deceptively information-rich world; to ask what we mean by the search for meaning; to invoke the humbling yet elating perspective of infinity; to challenge received ideas about death; and to reconsider what
"the soul" might be. Provocative, inspired, and inspiring, Agnostic brilliantly recasts the question of belief not as a problem to be solved but as an invitation to an ongoing, open-ended adventure of the mind.”
