Spiritual Envy

Unlike recent authors who emphatically say “No!” or “Yes!” to God, Krasny is among the millions who know they don’t know. As a radio host, professor, and scholar, he has spent decades leading conversations on every imaginable topic. He takes readers on an exploration of morality, mortality, why we do good, and why evil sometimes triumphs.

Some questions have no easy answers and most of us live most of our lives without even trying to answer them. But what we believe, why we believe it, and how we walk this talk affects every aspect of our lives — from how we make a living to who we love and even how we die.
If questions can’t always be answered, ace questioner Michael Krasny shows that there is still value in asking better, deeper, more soul- and mind-stirring questions. And asking questions is at the heart of agnosticism, which, unlike atheism, hasn’t closed the case. Agnosticism doesn’t say there is no God; it says that God’s existence —and nonexistence — can’t be proven. Many agnostics take comfort in religious ritual and community and, as Krasny’s Spiritual Envy describes, agnosticism does not preclude spiritual hunger.
