As a columnist for the New York Times who writes often about spiritual topics for a skeptical audience, Ross Douthat understands that many of us—whether we are agnostic, somewhat religious, or longtime believers—want to have more faith than we do. But we think we can't believe the way our ancestors did, knowing what we know now—can we? With clear and straightforward arguments, Believe shows how religious belief makes sense of the order of the cosmos and our place within it, illuminates the mystery of consciousness, and explains the persistent reality of encounters with the supernatural.

“I always call in, when in New York, to see Ernest who, despite the loss of part of a leg in the 1914-1918 war, manages to keep moving about all day. I had only a brief chat with him on a recent occasion, as he was booked for months ahead and our gossip came in a pupil’s time. Ernest still uses his original penknife with a loop at one end, to which he attaches a silk handkerchief and which he swings to and fro to demonstrate that, if he jerks the hands, it stops the free swing of the pendulum and does not make the end go faster. Ernest has been expounding the gospel of swing, not hit, ...
