More DescriptionFreedom is a word that is bandied about these days, but do we truly grasp its full and essential meaning? In this short yet powerful book Philosopher of Religion Marchant Drew presents a brief but astute look at and commentary on one of the most important and relevant books of our time, William Mitchell's "God, the Universe, and Man." From analysis of the material up to and including some in depth knowledge of one of today's most important people, Mitchell himself. Marchant's volume here is perhaps the first clear insight into the book that is changing the world by changing the way we perceive and think about it. Analogously, Drew is (re)defining the way we look at both Mitchell and his work. In the main we are asked the question, does Mitchell's work truly give a new and valid perception of the world, or does it merely grant another false freedom? Having answered that, this work takes off on its own and is in itself a short study of Being and what it means to be alive, particularly at this time of change that we are immersed in, and how each of us might endeavor to help things along towards love and peace, in short, towards freedom and authentic Being. But for all who have read and endeavored to understand Mitchell and his work, as well as those seeking an introduction to it, Drew's narrative is sure to become a classic among scholars and laity alike: a veritable tour de force and a must read.
