Title: Fascinating. Polygamy too?
Review: To me this book is reminiscent of Hannah Arendt's -the Origins of Totalitarianism-. The reader could pick away at each of the meta-syntheses as they occur, but with both books I was left with the feeling from personal experiences that the overall premises pretty much hit the nail on the head. Have wondered why it took Bloom's book so long to come out in paperback. It seemed to me that while Bloom is a confessed gnostic, he has shown some regard for many of traditional Christianity's values when given the alternative of the way American gnosticism is manifesting itself. For anyone who likes to talk about and mull over the topics forbidden to polite company - sex, politics, and religion - this is a great book for ruminating on the kind of religion we seem to be experiencing in America today. Thought his observations about the polygamy coming back into vogue and becoming legal in the not so distant future may be right on target if one reads the newspapers carefully.
