Description
What is our understanding of Scotlands spiritual identity? Does it matter? Should it affect the way we make our life-changing personal and national decisions? How does our spiritual identity fit with our ethics, our relationships, the arts, culture, politics and organized religion? How can we build an inspiring future? In this remarkable, page-turning exploration, Donald Smith asks whether the religious question belongs only to the past or whether it also lies squarely in front of us. Never shirking from the most difficult questions, the author gives us an enthralling, sure-footed and balanced sense of much-needed clarity about the state of the Scottish nation. Whether or not readers agree with the sometimes radical conclusions that he reaches, all will find here an enriching depth of clarity, grace and understanding that will lead to greater personal appreciation of the importance of the Christian faith in building an exciting future. In challenging and absorbing style, Donald Smith sets out to help us to unravel the fundamental spiritual dimension of Scottish identity and enables us to confront our national potential and our demons as never before.
