A Rumor of Angels: Modern Society and the Rediscovery of the Supernatural

Influential scholar Peter L. Berger reveals five signs that point to the supernatural and its place in a modern secular society
Â
Acclaimed scholar and sociologist Peter L. Berger examines religion in twentieth-century Western society, exploring the social nature of knowledge and its effect on religious belief. Using five signs evident in ordinary lifeâ€”order, play, hope, damnation, and humorâ€”Berger calls for a rediscovery of the supernatural as a crucial, rich dimension of humanity.
Â
Conceived as a response to his influential book The Sacred Canopy, Berger eschews technical jargon and speaks directly and systematically to those, like himself, who wish to explore religious questions.
