Caputo revisits Augustine's ancient question what do I love when I love my God? and presses it into service in the post-modern world. Accessible but without compromising the big ideas, he raises the question of what religion means today in the face of widespread religious violence after 9\/11, of spreading secularization, the dazzling discoveries of contemporary cosmology, and the eerie advent of the post-human world. All along sculpting the idea of a post-modern, post-secular religion without religion, which turns on the mystical element of our lives, he wonders what the future of traditional religion will be, or whether it even has one.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn Religion will fascinate anyone interested in the challenges religion faces in the contemporary world.

From the first sentence of \u003cem\u003eOn Religion\u003c\/em\u003e to the last, Caputo guides you into what is arguably life's most alluring (and insistent) exploration. \u003cem\u003eOn Religion\u003c\/em\u003e is both incisive and playful, accessible and profound, snarky (in a philosophical way) and reverent.
