News: Richard Holloway - religious leader and humanist
Richard Holloway, former Bishop of Edinburgh, has always supported a human approach to morality and rejected religious dogma. I found Godless Morality a wonderful book by a religious leader who promotes a human-centred approach to morality and not simply applying religious beliefs as moral laws.
AC Grayling now reviews Holloway’s latest book, Between the Monster and the Saint: Reflections on the Human Condition for The Times. AC Grayling says…
“A sincere book by a good man is always a welcome thing, and Richard Holloway’s essay on the human condition, and how we might endeavour to be our best despite its contradictions and tensions, is one such book. It is interesting for reasons that fall largely outside its just-described main topic, for it is also an account of Holloway’s own view of religion - this former Bishop of Edinburgh and Primus of the Scottish Episcopal Church is known to have lost anything recognisable as a traditional religious faith - and it also has flashes of personal memoir, revealed in relation to the main themes.
