Working on God

In Working On God, Winifred Gallagher takes us on a personal pilgrimage that explores new approaches to Western faiths, the impact of Eastern traditions, the influence of science and psychology, and the democratization of religious authority. Gallagher presents a multi-faceted view of religion at the millennium through up-close, insightful encounters with congregants and spiritual leaders of various faiths, including a Zen monastery in California, a conservative Manhattan synagogue that shares a Christian church, an African-American mosque, and a nuns' cloister.
