Guarded by Mystery: Meaning in a Postmodern Age

More about the book

The book explores the growing interest in spirituality amid modern life's inadequacies, highlighting a shift towards experiential religion as a response to feelings of confusion and despair. Author David Walsh argues that neither new age nor traditional religions provide a complete escape from modernity. Instead, he seeks to bridge the gap between rational thought and spiritual insight, emphasizing that spiritual experiences can coexist meaningfully within the modern context. This work addresses the disconnection many feel between these two realms, offering a deeper understanding of their interdependence.
