Experience and God
Fordham University Press, 1995. 220pp. ISBN: 0823216241

Smith argues in Experience and God that religion itself has become an enigma for modern man. Smith attempts to reunite philosophy with religion, arguing that in recent decades the prevailing attitude has been chiefly one of indifference. This indifference, leading to the failure of understanding, can be overcome only through radical reflection and self-criticism: a reconsideration of the nature of religion, its place in the total structure of human life, and its relations to the secular culture in which the faith of man must live.
