Kristeva provides neither an attack on nor a support of religious belief her interest is in drawing other disciplines into the discussion. With material culled from various interviews, articles and lectures, the book is less a unified argument than a sprawling analysis of religion in major psychological and philosophical literature (e.g., Freud, Arendt, Winnicot), fiction (e.g., Proust) and in private life (Kristeva makes wonderful use of Saint Teresa of Avila's writings) underscored by her claim that “sharable” knowledge of the inner religious experience is possible and could develop into an important field of discourse. Kristeva ( Powers of Horror ) delivers a focused and insightful discussion of religious belief.
