Beyond Religion

Beyond Religion

by William Irwin Thompson
3/5
(6 votes)

In this unique little book, cultural historian William Irwin Thompson argues that we are approaching the end of the age of religion, and entering into a new era of post-religious spirituality.

Addressing the explosion of religious fundamentalist violence around the world, he sees such events as the death throes of medieval religions, rather than their rebirth.

Tracing the history of religion from the thirteenth century to the present day, this book provides important context to the way we interpret global events and news stories, and will be of value to anyone who wants to engage with the cultural transformation at work in our world.

I will read all books by William Irwin Thompson. He is a guiding light that enriches our already held views and takes us to places of new understanding.

Work of genius by one of the leading thinkers in America.

I've just finished this book, Thompson's latest work, yesterday while sitting at a breakfast shop. It's good to see his writings in print again, as this book like his earlier works takes the reader on a "mind jazz" experience.
