In Religion in a Changing World (originally published in 1967), Professor Radhakrishnan sets forth his reflections on the religion of the future which would make for the development of a world community. The author, who devoted a lifetime to the study of the religious problems of the East and West, evaluates the anti-metaphysical bias of our scientific age and interprets this outlook in positive rather than in negative terms, not as a loss of the sense of the spiritual but as a gain of the wholeness of experience. This book is written with deep religious feeling and will offer comfort to the bewildered generation, for it affirms the doubts and insecurities of modern man and points beyond them to the grounds for hope. It appreciates the intellectual difficulties of belief and gives the widest social context to religion.
