A sociologist’s look at the continuing importance of religion and
the supernatural in the modern world, “cleverly expounded [and]
enhanced by wit” (Kirkus Reviews). Acclaimed scholar and
sociologist Peter L. Berger examines religion in twentieth-century
Western society, exploring the social nature of knowledge and its
effect on religious belief. Using five signs evident in ordinary
life—order, play, hope, damnation, and humor—Berger calls for a
rediscovery of the supernatural as a crucial, rich dimension of
humanity. Conceived as a response to his influential book The
Sacred Canopy, Berger eschews technical jargon and speaks directly and
systematically to those, like himself, who wish to explore religious
questions.
