"The authors represented in these pages have shaped the way we perceive our world and have simultaneoulsy challenged the boundaries of faith in our own era and in centuries past.

While I'm not at all sorry that I persevered and read all 630 pages of this tome, it was a bit of a struggle at times. An anthology taken from many different types of writing, the selections ranged from an excerpt from The Brothers Karamazov to the poem 'Invictus' to 'Letter From Birmingham City Jail' by Martin Luther King. A number of the selections were interesting and made good introductions to their authors but there were more than a few that were difficult, even impenetrable, especially from the writers expounding on their particular version of Christianity. This book reminded me why I seldom read in that particular area.
