A call for more faith in our exhausted age
Religion as an antidote to our poisonous times
It’s become fashionable to be pessimistic about the future. Beset by crises and constant pressure, we have lost our sense of meaning: we think religion is old-fashioned and are suspicious of transcendence.
What we need now is the courage to let ourselves be inspired by cultural techniques discovered and developed over the millennia, which can help liberate us from the narrow-mindedness of our exclusively materialistic age. It is high time we opened ourselves up to different ways of seeing the world.
Nora Bossong is one of Germany’s most acclaimed literary voices and a critical Catholic, and Different Ways of Seeing the World is her passionate call for more faith, and an inspiration to anyone seeking an antidote to our spiritually sold-out society; because what we need in our exhausted age is more meaning, more hope, more faith.
