The holy fire religious functions - Regis Dupre

What is the benefit of religions? What can we do with them? And how do we think about them? If the question becomes decisive and intense, the answer takes time, calm, and space. It requires us to detach ourselves from the fog of vital, social, and psychological functions that these religions perform in history, in our hearts, and in our souls. This is what the author of this book has done without sectarianism or ideological propaganda based on documents and studies at hand. And the reader will discover a strange discovery that may benefit non-believers as much as believers: the sacred as a way to reach the profane, and the imaginary as an entry to the real. To understand clearly and without pretense what exactly brotherhood, war, and identity are from the perspective of the human being, and our thirst for reconciliation. Therefore, to appreciate the newspaper of today, one must enter the harsh school of religious truth, and with honest lies, the author filters our dreams and illusions through the sieve of practice.
