Symbolic World Press presents a brand new book written by Jean-Philippe Marceau, Post-Reductionist Christianity: A Way Out of the Meaning Crisis: store.thesymbolicworld.com/products/post-reductionist-christianity-a-way-out-of-the-meaning-crisis
"This book is an excellent introduction to philosophical challenges facing anyone wishing to live a symbolic way of life, but it does not presuppose any philosophical training. Instead it guides one and educates one in a warm and rigorous way. This book will be of particular interest to Christians, but also non-Christians who are beginning to reflect upon why they may be dissatisfied with the current scientific worldview.”
- John Vervaeke, Ph.D.
