520 $aA modern philosopher described religion as "that region in which all the enigmas of the world are solved." Smith argues in Experience and God that religion itself has become an enigma for modern man. In the book, Smith attempts to reunite philosophy with religion. He argues that in recent decades the prevailing attitude has been chiefly one of indifference.
520 8 $aThis indifference, leading to the failure of understanding, can be overcome only through radical reflection and self-criticism: a reconsideration of the nature of religion, its place in the total structure of human life, and its relations to the secular culture in which the faith of man must live.
520 8 $aThe task Smith lays out must be of a largely philosophical nature, not only because of the necessity to understand religion in relation to a comprehensive scheme of things, but also because the idea of religion is intimately connected with the issues of metaphysics.
