We have surveyed the survey of 19th and early 20th century thought. Next week we'll do the same thing to rest of the 20th century. You may forget all the names which have whizzed past the screen, but see if these ideas still sound current. Your unexamined experience of reality is all the reality you need; religion is first a feeling, an experience; the "spiritual" is our projection of our wishes and needs; statements must be verifiable to be true; truth is what works for you; life and faith have evolved, and must keep on keeping on.

None of these ideas is stated in Scripture, but each is conventional wisdom today. Next week we'll learn why.
