Making sense of the unseen and the unknownWhat does it mean to be spiritual? For some, spirituality is at best a hazy concept that's preferred by those who cannot accept the potential of science to one day explain everything. For others, it's at the core of what it means to be human.
Being Spiritual explores ideas about spirituality, as a way of making sense of its meaning and reality. Attention is given to the relevance of several important themes for understanding what spirituality is, including topics such as life purpose, mortality, love, and beauty.
The book also examines the "spiritual but not religious" phenomenon, asking whether it's necessary or even desirable to hold onto a religious faith or a belief in a higher power in order to achieve spiritual growth and potential. Drawing on the thinking of sociologists, psychologists, historians, theologians, social commentators and more, the potential attractions and risks of a do-it-myself approach to spirituality are weighed against the possible pitfalls and promises of following a more traditional path.
Ultimately, the book opens up questions that are relevant for all, offering food for thought to both guide and inspire those who are curious about, embarking upon, or wanting to deepen an exploration of their spiritual life, whatever they perceive this to be.
