"This book actually changed my life. The last chapter healed deep things in my heart...I still cry when I think of it."—Lacey Sturm, chart-topping hard rock solo artist, author of The Reason [from the Foreword]"I was very heartened to see someone write a book as brave and honest as this one. Scholarly, engaging, and remarkably accessible, this book takes history seriously and refuses to simplify complex issues. Drawing from early Church fathers through Descartes, Kant, and Nietzsche to purveyors of pop culture and advocates of atheism, Rut addresses contemporary cultural issues from a perspective many would prefer not to consider—but that cannot be ignored."—Janie Harden Fr
