4.0 out of 5 stars
Scholarly, detailed, defended and Interesting read.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Faith and Belief: The Difference Between Them (Paperback)
I believe I now know faith and I have faith that I now know belief. I left the book a little exhausted. It is not an easy read to me. It didn't seem to flow. I will refer back to it. I am in admiration of the work that was invested in this effort. It is an excellent resource for the student exploring human spirituality and religion.
