ABSTRACT
This conclusion presents some closing thoughts on the concepts covered in the preceding chapters of this book. The book argues that human experience comes alive as experience by and through the impossible. It also argues that there is a fundamentally religious quality to human experience itself, whether or not you have the blessings of the bishop or the rabbi, whether or not you believe in the "God" of one of the traditional confessions. The book focuses on another idea of "religious truth," which is a centerpiece of little treatise On Religion. The religious sense of life defined as the love of God, takes shape in the face of facelessness, is forged over and against this tragic sense. The book explores a post-modern or post-secular repetition of St. Augustine, a reiteration of St. Augustine for a post-secular time, which has all the makings of a religion without religion.
