This whole approach to the truth/faith/civilization equation may seem dubious to pious minds inured to divine "omnipotence." A more lively and penetrating sense of things divinely human and humanly divine is pursued in this book through ten themes central to religion -- language, law, love, truth, tribe, selfhood, nature, power, time and worship. A final chapter clinches the distinctive case for Christianity as "divine risk." The argument is illuminated by examples from different religions, and from literature, poetry and the humanities.
