This book strikes at the root of almost
everything that makes it difficult for the present-day Westerner to
believe whole-heartedly in religion, and in doing so it shows modern man
to be the embodiment of superstition in its most dangerous form. We are
faced in the modern world with a situation similar to that in the fable
of the Emperor’s new clothes. What is necessary more than anything
else is simply that someone would speak the truth — and that is
exactly what this book does.
