A beautifully written and nuanced defence of religious belief as a transformative practice rather than a set of intellectual doctrines.

It contains much food for thought for believers interested in apologetics, and, being very accessible, would also serve well as a helpful gift to intelligent sceptics and enquirers. -- Bishop John Inge * Church Times * It is hard to dispute the fundamental argument of this book ... We are offered insights into the poetry of Rilke, the music of J.S. Bach and the plays of Shakespeare. So good is the book that it seems petty to criticise * Church of England Newspaper *
