Through careful , creative analysis, James P. Carse’s The Religious Case Against Belief reveals a surprising truth: What is currently criticized as religion is, in fact, the territory of belief. Looking to both historical and contemporary crises, Carse distinguishes religion from belief systems and pinpoints how the closed-mindedness and hostility of belief has corrupted religion and spawned violence the world over. Drawing on the lessons of Galileo, Martin Luther, Abraham Lincoln, and Jesus Christ, Carse creates his own brand of parable and establishes a new vocabulary with which to study conflict in the modern world. Carse uses his wide-ranging understanding of religion to find a viable and vital path away from what he calls the Age of Faith II and toward open-ended global dialogue.]]> 6624183 1 6818397 26 5 2009 The Religious Case Against Belief 0 0 5 0 54828 4.16 278 72 80238569 1226061 6624183 0143115448 9780143115441 0 http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6624183-the-religious-case-against-belief 0.0 0 An insightful explanation for why belief—not religion—keeps us in a perilous state of willful ignorance
