Beyond Belief

Meer over het boek

Exploring the complex relationship between belief and spirituality in contemporary Australia, the book delves into the disconnect between the widespread belief in a higher power and the decline in traditional religious practices. Through interviews with diverse individuals, it uncovers ambivalence towards organized religion while highlighting a persistent quest for meaning. Mackay examines societal attitudes, including the tendency to seek divine support in crises and the pursuit of a fulfilling life, ultimately advocating for a life lived for others, regardless of religious affiliation.
