More Than Allegory – On religious myth, truth and belief

This book is a three-part journey into the rabbit hole we call the nature of reality.Its ultimate destination is a plausible, living validation of transcendence.Each of its three parts is like a turn of a spiral, exploring recurring ideas through the prisms of religious myth, truth and belief, respectively.With each turn, the book seeks to convey a more nuanced and complete understanding of the many facets of transcendence.Part I puts forward the controversial notion that many religious myths are actually true; and not just allegorically so.Part II argues that our own inner storytelling plays a surprising role in creating the seeming concreteness of things and the tangibility of history.Part III suggests, in the form of a myth, how deeply ingrained belief systems create the world we live in.The three themes, myth, truth and belief, flow into and interpenetrate each other throughout the book.
