Über diesen Titel

Inhaltsangabe

"A book of great practical wisdom by authors who have profound insight into the intellectual dynamics governing contemporary life."
--Dallas Willard, author of Knowing Christ Today

In In Praise of Doubt, two world-renowned social scientists, Peter L. Berger (The Homeless Mind, Questions of Faith) and Anton C. Zijderveld (The Abstract Society, On Clichés), map out how we can survive the political, moral, and religious challenges raised by the extreme poles of relativism and fundamentalism. A book that asks and answers Big Questions, In Praise of Doubt offers invaluable guidance on how to have convictions without becoming a fanatic.
