Sinopsis
Belief: surely it’s a relic from the past, a hangover from a superstitious age that is totally out of sync with today’s rational, science-led culture?
'A timely, often bracing and always highly stimulating book.' Tom Holland, author of Dominion and co-host of The Rest is History
In today’s science-driven, rational world, belief is dismissed as an artefact of a bygone era – something absurd at best, harmful at worst. The prevailing narratives paint belief as primitive, weird, even dangerous.
But as life grows ever more confusing and our societies more atomised, contemplating something bigger than ourselves has never been more vital.
Alister McGrath offers a fresh perspective on belief, presenting it not as a weakness of rational thought but as an essential tool for navigating uncertainty. Elegant and thought-provoking, Why We Believe reveals how belief provides meaning in the face of existential despair, how it fosters community and offers solace.
As society moves beyond the dismissive rhetoric surrounding people of faith, here is a powerful manifesto for the re-enchantment of the Western mind.
'Scholarly, compulsively readable and with gems of information on every page... a must read.' Revd Fergus Butler-Gallie, author of A Field Guide to the English Clergy

Hardcover. Condición: new. Hardcover. Belief: surely its a relic from the past, a hangover from a superstitious age that is totally out of sync with todays rational, science-led culture. The dominant narratives of our age dismiss any form of belief as lying somewhere on a dark spectrum between weird and toxic.But as our world grows ever more confusing, our societies atomised, contemplating something larger than ourselves could not be more essential.Elegant and thought-provoking, Why We Believe argues that accepting the unknown is not a failure of rational thought, but an existential necessity. Bestowing community, consolation and the ability to negotiate uncertainty, believing in what we cannot prove is intellectually emboldening and spiritually enriching. As the discriminatory rhetoric regarding people of faith slowly recedes, here is a manifesto for the re-enchantment of the Western mind. A bold argument for the centrality of belief in our everyday lives. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
