Beyond Theology: The Art of Godmanship by Alan Watts

Beyond Theology is Alan Watts’s philosophical reinterpretation of Christianity. Drawing on psychology, linguistics, science and Eastern philosophy, he examines Christian ideas, their cultural influence and the possibility of a nondual understanding of spiritual life.

Originally published in 1964, the book uses paradox and humor to question conventional assumptions about doctrine and the sacred. For readers interested in religious criticism and comparative thought, rather than a general manual of Buddhist meditation.
