For readers who are riding on the wave of religious controversies, Michael H. Ducey’s book, The Secular Spirit, will provide the needed fix to assure hours of contemplation on what is and what is not. The Secular Spirit talks about the decline of religion and the rise of secularism. Those whose faith is merely passive may soon find themselves questioning their own beliefs after reading this book.
The Secular Spirit tackles the “dual character” of religion, and provides critical analysis of century-old religious traditions. Ducey not only focuses on Roman Catholicism, which has become the recent target of controversy and conspiracies, but on the entire institution of religion. His experiences as a former Jesuit priest, a teaching sociologist, and a meditating hermit breathe life into his writing.
Ducey notes in his book that human beings’ desire to affiliate with a religion is a “fix” to make the world more understandable to them. However, he discusses at length the consequences of this “fix” on the human psyche, and its primary remedy.
Copies of Michael H. Ducey’s The Secular Spirit are now available in the Xlibris.com online bookstore.
