History-evolution becomes the heart of human life, society, and all reality, and many ascribe to the benefits of cultural/religious pluralism. These stances require dialogue with those who do not share the same ones. In that dialogue all seek a depth and spiritual dimension in our everyday experiences. <p><i>Club Modernity for Reluctant Christians</i> provides reflections on the ultimate meaning of life that begin with our human experiences. Leonard Swidler rigorously pursues the questions raised within the context of freedom, critical-thinking, historical sensibility, and dialogue with the world—ultimately leading to an inner encounter with the Transcendent. <p>This book will resonate for Christians, or �reluctant Christians,� who are having difficulty reconciling these core characteristics of Modernity with their religious faith. <BR> <H2>About the Author(s)</H2> <P><b>Leonard Swidler</b> has been a Professor of Religion at Temple University since 1966.
