Joseph John Campbell, the eminent comparative mythologist had once posed the question: What is the meaning of a flower in a field, and why was it there? Drawing upon this theme, the author explores the origins of faith and belief, and presents the narrative of the book as a series of dialogues amongst a number of key characters. The protagonist is a young university student whose life’s journey is moulded by the words of his mentor who offers the thoughts of Aristotle and St. Thomas Aquinas, and many other pre- and post-Socratic Greek philosophers, to arrive at conclusions about faith, morality and in the search of the divine.
