Description
Book SynopsisTrade Review"[A] lucid and illuminating book. . . . Cottingham’s short study explores fundamental questions more fully than many much longer volumes."
---John Gray, New Statesman"I loved [this] erudite, bold, provocative, beautiful book."
---Jane O’Grady, Literary Review"An enjoyable and illuminating read. Cottingham’s elegant account is sufficiently deep and detailed to contribute to debate among philosophers of religion, while retaining a clarity and energy that lend themselves to a broader readership."
---Ruby Guyatt, Times Higher Education"[A] superb book. . . . There could be no better guide."
---Maximilian de Gaynesford, The Tablet"Wide-ranging and well-written." * Paradigm Explorer *
"
In Search of the Soul, provides a good occasion to reflect, with a man who is both a distinguished philosopher and a gentle guide, on the state of religious belief and disbelief in our present age."
---Bernard G. Prusak, Commonweal"
In Search of the Soul is a philosophical ode to this ebbing faith, but it refuses to be elegiac: its impetus is a quiet confidence that a receding night tide returns at dawn."
---Judith Wolfe, Times Literary Supplement"[A] well-crafted and humane book . . . [
In Search of the Soul] is what a modern spirituality could look like."
---Michael H. Barnes, Catholic Books Review"His very accessible essay ought to be essential reading for all Christians and epecially for teachers and preachers, in order to equip them to convey a credible understanding of the soul in our contemporary culture"
---Fergus O’Ferrall, Methodist Reader"This book helps inspire us to turn away from these cheap substitutes for something more human and more real. The nature of the human soul is a large topic, and readers will get much from this book to fuel their own thoughts on what remains of the human soul in the twenty-first century."
---Laurie M. Johnson, The European Legacy
