Book Synopsis:
While science renews itself by refuting and replacing pictures of how the world is, religion derives its longevity from the ability to create images of how the world ought to be. In this view, religions arise as legitimate protests against prevailing ways life?that is, as forms of critique. Robert Ackermann here explores this idea, considering the manner in which six major religion systems (Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Marxism, Hinduism, and Buddhism) articulate critique.
