What is the cost of religion in the modern world? Pretty high, is the view of retired philosophy/mathematics professor J. Fang, as he addresses the issue of man's spirituality and the burden of theocratic denomination. Cultural panavision, verbal technicolour and the sharply focussed lens of an academic 'outsider' from the East - now settles in 'enlightened' Virginia -make 'Ecrasez L'Infame' very challenging, very up close and personal for those who espouse the Jeudo-Christian tradition. Yet it's so big in scope, so careful in its analyses, and so firm in its grasp of the history of ideas, that readers of all persuasions will surely enjoy and benefit from Mr. Fang's erudition and insight.
