About This Book

A series of reflective essays examines the culture and workings of the modern press alongside questions of religious feeling and institutional authority. The author blends anecdote, criticism, and philosophical observation to contrast the newspaper's bustling, fact-driven, and often vulgar charm with the majesty and restraint of formal worship, considers tensions between tradition and reform in religious thought, and ponders how shifts in conceptions of the divine—from personal deity to impersonal force—produce theological dispute. Throughout, personal travel vignettes and encounters in editorial offices and churches illustrate themes of honesty, ritual, and the limits of public discourse.
