We are living in an increasingly polarised society. Any book that helps people to understand each other a little more has its uses. This is one such book.
It is definitely not a Christian book and yet it contains a great deal that Christians will be pleased to see. I hope it might even be a ray of light heralding the dawn of a rethink for Western attitudes so benighted by crass liberalism, reactionary conservatism and deadening political correctness.
