Saving the Appearances: A Study in Idolatry

'Saving the Appearances' is about the world as we see it and the world as it is. It is about God, nature and the evolution of consciousness. Barfield takes us on an epic journey through the history of human thought - from the primordial consciousness of early man to that of our own times, evoking a wide range of sources including anthropology, physics, theology, and linguistics. "Owen Barfield is a paradigm-busting Christian thinker, and this is a book that will not go out of date."
