Many of today's \"spiritual but not religious\" people - one in four US adults - have found the access point to spiritual experience that Western Christianity lost: unconditional love. \u003cem\u003eLove Beyond Belief\u003c\/em\u003e tracks the history of this lost emotion.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThandeka has written \u003cem\u003eLove Beyond Belief\u003c\/em\u003e with two goals in mind: to resolve the emotional-deficit problem in so many \"corpse cold\" (Ralph Waldo Emerson s words) mainline congregations today; and to offer a primer for \"spiritual but not religious\" people to build up and network their spiritual communities.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Thandeka has written a book of rigorous scholarship, brilliant original insight, and great practical importance. ... Having read it, I will never be able to think of my theological heritage in the same way again. ... Thandeka sees in the emergence of the \"spiritual but not religious\" community a great potential for her goal of \"love beyond belief.\" She has demonstrated in practice how, by paying close attention to the affects, dying established churches can come alive. She hopes that those who are alienated from these churches, often for excellent reasons, can develop community activities that will lead them to experience love beyond belief. With her leadership and the support of progressive churches, perhaps this project will succeed.\" -From the foreword by \u003cstrong\u003eJohn B.
