"Freedom and beauty - in faith we can find them".
As a science journalist, Frank Berzbach knows how to interpret complex spiritual, philosophical, psychological and historical contexts in an entertaining and profound way. In his new book, the bestselling author writes about the "art of believing". And that is truly an art in the face of global upheavals, increasing secularization and a profound church crisis. In his reflections, Berzbach follows the traces of Christian faith in pop culture, whether in Patti Smith's song lyrics about the Psalms, Nick Cave's everyday mysticism, Bob Dylan's wise stories or in Johnny Cash's gracious voice. And there is also much to discover in works of visual art, architecture and literature. An invitation to look deeper, far beneath the surface of all that we see.
"Faith proves itself by allowing questions that cannot be answered, by evading complete understanding and yet becoming audible: 'God is in the house,' as Nick Cave sings it in a ballad, sharing with us his way of praying." Frank Berzbach
