In 1985, Ari L. Goldman took a year`s leave from his job as a religion reporter for The New York Times and enrolled in the Harvard Divinity School. What began as a project to deepen his knowledge of world religion became an extraordinary journey of spiritual illumination. Written with warmth, humor, and penetrating clarity, Goldman describes his extraordinary year, the surprising and enlightening students and teachers he met, and his ongoing quest to determine what it means to take religion seriously today.
