Description
This book explores the meaning behind fundamental terms used in discussions about morality and religion. It examines the nature of "right and wrong" and "God", as well as the concept of meaning itself.
Through a combination of literary, philosophical, and theological analysis, Vernon White probes these concepts with rigor and accessibility. The book consists of standalone essays that also contribute to a broader argument about the trajectory towards transcendence in our understanding of morality, God, and meaning.
A key theme of the book is that the meaning of these terms goes beyond individual or social construction, and is instead grounded in something beyond us. This approach offers an alternative to reductionist views and advances a thesis about transcendence that can be applied across various experiences, both religious and non-religious.
