Opis

This book expounds and analyses notions of transcendence and incarnation reflectively and personally, combining philosophical and religious insights. Preferring tender-minded approaches to reductive materialistic ones, it shows some ways that reductive approaches to human affairs can distort the appreication of our lives and activities.
