An intimate, philosophic quest for eternity, amidst the disenchantments and disappointments of our timeMany people of faith believe the meaning of life depends on our connection to an eternal order of some kind. We can never reach God, as religion promises, but cannot give up the longing to do so either. Atheists deride this belief as a childish superstition.In this wise and profound book, Anthony Kronman offers an alternative to these two entrenched positions, arguing that neither addresses the complexities of the human condition.
The human condition is one of inevitable disappointment tempered by moments of joy.Resolutely humanistic and theologically inspired, this moving book offers a rational path to the love of God We are condemned by our nature to set goals we can neither abandon nor fulfill, yet paradoxically are able to approach more closely if we try.
