Description

FAITH MATTERS is an articulate, non-denominational defense of established religion in America. Rabbi David Wolpe presents the case for religion and proposes solutions toward engaging religion in discussions of modernity. By refuting the cold reason of the atheists with a vision of religion informed by faith, love, and understanding, Wolpe will follow in a religious literary tradition that stretches from Cardinal Newman, to C.S. Lewis, to Thomas Merton-all individuals of faith who have successfully brought religion and culture together in their own works.
