Description

A philosopher's inquiry into the religious life is also an exploration of fundamental questions about happiness and meaning. Zena Hitz spent several years living in a Christian community, seeking answers to these questions.

Her book delves into the nature of faith, sacrifice, asceticism, and happiness through philosophical analysis, stories, and examples from religious life. Drawing on personal experience, as well as film, literature, history, biography, and theology, Hitz aims to demystify an important aspect of contemporary culture.

The result is a nuanced picture of human flourishing and happiness that challenges and enriches modern-day life, offering insights into the complexities of living a life of prayer and sacrifice.
