Description
Religion and the Rebel, Colin Wilson's second volume from his internationally acclaimed Outsider Cycle, is a casebook about and for rebels. With inspirational wisdom and engaging clarity, Wilson shows us that the purpose of religion, of our personal relationship with the sacred and the all-pervading mystery of existence, is to expand our consciousness and intensify our sense of life.
Wilson heroically claims that the power to create meaning resides in our mental and spiritual discipline. Examining the lives and works of Nietzsche, Kierkegaard, Rilke, Shaw, Pascal, Swedenborg, Rimbaud, and Scott Fitzgerald, among others, Wilson explores the main existential questions and shows how these remarkable writers, scientists, philosophers, and poets faced their need for transcendence. Like many of us, they were driven by a need to become more than men.
Religion and the Rebel is an outstanding and enjoyable book that combines philosophical analysis, historical interest, and religious insight.

About the Author
Colin Wilson, novelist, critic, historian and philosopher, was born in Leicester in 1931.

His philosophy, which he called "New Existentialism," is built on an optimistic approach to "Old Existentialism." His first book, The Outsider, was internationally acclaimed and became an instant bestseller. Wilson's work has been translated into more than thirty languages. He died in Cornwall in 2013.
