Ripeness Is All: A Boomer's Mirthful, Spiritual Journey

"By definition, religion is not a true religion unless it is universal, transcending national boundaries, and tribal, national, ethnic, and racial identity. A universal religion is supposed to be more important than the transitory human condition in time and space. To be truly universal, a religion must welcome all comers." Explore these and other insights in Henry Carrier's witty and intellectually invigorating book, Ripeness Is All: A Boomer's Mirthful, Spiritual Journey. A self-professed boomer with a keen sense of popular culture, Carrier writes about the search for meaning against the backdrop of Vietnam, Civil Rights, the counterculture, and postmodernism. "I've tried to write a deeply personal and humorous account of my life and spiritual journey from age seven to age seventy during one of the most pivotal times in human history." Carrier synthesizes history, philosophy, theology, and science to present a contemporary understanding of religion that he hopes will speak to believers and non-believers alike.
