A sociologist's look at the continuing importance of religion and the supernatural in the modern world, "cleverly expounded [and] enhanced by wit" (
Kirkus Reviews).
Acclaimed scholar and sociologist Peter L. Berger examines religion in twentieth-century Western society, exploring the social nature of knowledge and its effect on religious belief. Using five signs evident in ordinary life-order, play, hope, damnation, and humor-Berger calls for a rediscovery of the supernatural as a crucial, rich dimension of humanity.
Conceived as a response to his influential book
The Sacred Canopy, Berger eschews technical jargon and speaks directly and systematically to those, like himself, who wish to explore religious questions.
