The Fifth Dimension

The case for a bigger, more complete picture of reality in which a fifth, spiritual dimension plays a central role

Drawing on mystical and religious traditions ancient and modern, and spiritual thinkers as diverse as Julian of Norwich and Mahatma Gandhi, The Fifth Dimension is John Hick''s eloquent argument for a more complete reality, in which a fifth, spiritual dimension plays a central role. Taking into account recent global crises - including the 9/11 attacks and war in Iraq - Hick addresses a variety of timeless issues, from the validity of religious experience to the science versus religion debate. Erudite, provocative and deeply moving, Hick''s persuasive narrative will prompt all curious readers to re-examine their own spiritual horizons.
