Book Synopsis
Conservative religious figures routinely warn against the dangers of secularization, just as proponents of the modern secular state decry the theocratic tendencies of religion. Both sides assume that the sacred and the secular are diametrically opposed. This work calls such misbegotten assumptions into question. The problem lies elsewhere.

Trade Review
The quality of mind which enters this book is unique and fascinating.... Vahanian... is a fierce but eloquent prophet of the Lord, and, with his sense of high drama, worth the watching and the hearing. - New York Times Book Review ""Sharp, jolting... marked by responsibility and clarity... this volume is penetrating, fog-eradicating, astringent. And its level of thought insures us, too, that whatever construction is offered will not be analgesic in intent or paper mache in substance."" - Christian Scholar
