5.0 out of 5 stars John F. Schumaker has wings of lucidity!, June 18, 1999
By Charles D. Hayes (Wasilla, AK USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
Understanding the nature of human belief systems is one of my principal preoccupations. I've read scores of books on this subject, and find John F. Schumaker to be in a league of his own in this discipline. He writes about beliefs with as much insight and clarity as Bryan Magee does with the complexities of philosophy. This book is timeless.
