"The essays and poems of this volume demonstrate that there are few subjects we wrestle with so much yet hold so dear as spirituality and religion. Drawing on a wide variety of mainstream and specialized periodicals, editor Philip Zaleski has chosen writings from across the spectrum of spirituality; Christians, Jews, Muslims, and atheists all have voices in these pages."--BOOK JACKET.
