Many people today, living in our highly technological western culture, are all too willing to accept a humanist and scientific account of the universe which considers human existence as a fleeting accident. The triumph of John Hick's gripping work is his exposure of the total inadequacy of this view. Drawing on mystical and religious traditions ancient and modern, as well as spiritual thinkers as diverse as Julian of Norwich and Mahatma Gandhi, he has produced a thorough, readable and acutely argued case for a bigger, more complete, picture of reality, in which a fifth, spiritual dimension plays a central role.
