Life Seeking Understanding: How Spiritual But Not Religious and Other Seekers Can Construct Their Own Theology
by Hans le Grand
About the Book
This book is for seekers who find truth in many traditions but follow none exclusively. Hans le Grand provides a framework for constructing a personal theology using Imaginative Construction and Aporetic Pluralism, guiding readers through six steps from agnosticism to a meaningful, considered spiritual position.
Le Grand expands the possibilities for constructive theology for those who do not fit neatly into any single religious system. His method emphasizes reflective choice, personal integrity, and openness to insights across traditions. Accessible and rigorous, the book is ideal for spiritual-but-not-religious readers seeking structure without dogma.
