"The two parts of the title are much needed in today's discourse on faith and reason - an uncompromising analysis of what does and does not exist in the universe, and a respectful appreciation of people's diverse beliefs and of the wisdom that may be found in our civilization's traditions and literatures. Thomas Sheridan's readable book satisfies these needs gracefully and engagingly."
Steven Pinker, Johnstone Professor of Psychology, Harvard University, and the author of Enlightenment Now: The Case for Reason, Science, Humanism, and Progress”
