QUANTUM SPIRITUALITY A POSTMODERN APOLOGETIC Do you have cold feet about the future? Finally there is a place to warm them up. At a time when the gulf between yesterday and today has grown larger than ever before, Sweet challenges an increasingly damaged planet and demoralized church to walk confidently into a terrific and terrifying future--not a future that's happening tomorrow or next year, but one that is already present, a "postmodern" future, part Candy Store, part Little Shop of Horrors. Do you sometimes wonder whether you are the only one confused about the biggest talking point of the day--"postmodernism"? You are not alone. Quantum Spirituality lets a new meaning of this word build up in us while serving as the historiographi- cal equivalent of an archaeological dig into an emerging world culture. Rich in illustrative detail and power- fully evocative, Sweet's deeply spiri- tual surveillance brings life and rele- vance to some of the most opaque yet transforming areas of scientific and intellectual inquiry today. You will find this book absolutely indispensable. Stimulating, astonish- ing, frustrating, Sweet's stereotopic vision and cinematic treatments are sometimes more revelatory than ex- planatory. His pace can be breathless. His command of the vast scholarship of the past fifty years is in equal meas- ure fascinating and difficult. He revels in humor and play, back-flips, and other joys of the living intellect. His satire can be as sharp as any tattooist's needle, and get as easily under the skin. A rarity in religious publishing, here is a book as fun to pore over the second time as the first. Leonard I.
