Review: "Through reference to plays, poetry, painting, novels and films, this manifesto traces the genealogy of 'true religion' in the Western world, charting changes in our understanding of the term from Shakespeare to Salman Rushdie, pointing out how closely linked those changes are to secularism, liberalism and the development of capitalism." "The book is guaranteed to excite students and scholars of literature, theology and religion, as well as the general reader."--BOOK JACKET.
