Belief Without Permission
An Examination of Conviction, Authority, and the Cost of Unquestioned Truth
"This book is not written to tell you what to believe. It is written to ask whether what you believe is asking you to lie to yourself."
This book examines belief, authority, religion, institutional power, trauma, memory, morality, responsibility, spirituality, science, human dignity, and lived experience. It does not tell you what to believe. It asks whether what you believe is asking you to lie to yourself.
