Synopsis
Many Americans say they are uncertain about their religious beliefs, although they continue to attend Christian and other churches. Interdenominational minister Willis presents this beautifully written book to help questioners maintain their integrity while relating to the vast Mystery that informs the universe beyond all understanding. "We know we don't know," Willis says, "and yet we all (even atheists) must stand on assumptions that help us lead good lives." To explore these assumptions, he discusses different ways of thinking about God, scientific and mythical views, the sources of good and evil, and the need for both freedom and commitment. He assures us we can all think reasonably about Ultimate Reality and find a faith that fits. The book grew from theology classes Willis taught in Unitarian churches and universities and from conversations with discontented members of other discussion groups. His clear and engaging prose is full of lively exchanges with his students. Frequent references to the best contemporary theologians (Bishop Spong, for example) and to philosophers, physicists, mythologists, and Bible experts provide an inspiring resource for those who long to resolve the conflict between faith and reason, doubt and belief.

Synopsis
In our contemporary world - as our knowledge of the cosmos expands, as biotechnology allows us to alter the genetic code, and as we confront the findings of New Physics - many find their most basic beliefs about religion and spirituality have been shaken. This text asserts that it is possible to maintain faith even as we acknowledge the new scientific discoveries and accept the changing universe. The author attempts to help the reader grapple with the paradoxes that permeate life and shows that an intelligent faith can be found to suit everybody, no matter how unconventional.
