In its tradition of dialogue and exchange, the Boston Studies in Philosophy and Religion continues the exploration of major issues in human life which are often neglected by most professional philosophers and religious thinkers. The authors of The Longing for Home explore the notion that home is both a place and a condition of the spirit. While a person may have a place that is home, he or she may also be nostalgic for an inner spiritual home which beckons even as it lies beyond the human grasp. This latest book in the Boston University series explores the spiritual and emotional depths of our human sense of home, providing ample ground for intellectual engagement and personal reflection.
