Arthur Yavelberg: A Theology For The Rest Of Us

Arthur Yavelberg: A Theology For The Rest Of Us
In his new book, Yavelberg tackles all types of questions in the hopes of providing some religious illumination in these uncertain times. By examining various religious' insights on topics like free will, the identity of the creator, and why evil exists, Yavelberg provides a map for spiritual awareness. A Theology For The Rest Of Us is a straightforward approach to fundamental questions that are the basis of religion, spirituality and philosophy. This book draws on traditions of the East as well as the West-Taoism, Buddhism and Hinduism in addition to Judaism, Christianity, and Islam- to see what can make sense in today's world. Whether exploring the implications of 17th century Enlightenment philosophers, quantum physics, or the insights of writers such as Dostoyevsky and Alan Watts, the reader is offered a rational, coherent approach that can provide understanding and a basis for hope in a world where the spirit has been all but decimated by doubt and worse.
