About This Book

A series of classroom-style meetings records a circle of young people guided by a thoughtful leader as they explore nonsectarian religion, moral and aesthetic questions, and the meaning of God. Through weekly papers, readings from religious sources, and guided discussion they examine notions such as unity, the relation of good and evil, the role of religious institutions, and the significance of the body and sympathy. The text models patient inquiry and pedagogical technique, balancing personal reflection with shared thought, and is organized as sequential meetings with an appendix.
