Produktbeschreibung

Praise for Doubts and Loves

"I don't know when I have been more impressed, indeed, excited, by a work . . . It answers the seemingly unanswerable, tormenting questions in a completely satisfying way."
Ruth Rendell

"[A work] of blinding sincerity and high intelligence."
Raymond Carr, Spectator

"Doubts and Loves will appeal to all of us who continue to be interested in the moral challenge of our times . . . it is an involved, painful, personal struggle with the Big Questions. For Holloway, the moral challenge is not who should be excluded, but how to include the whole world."
Jeanette Winterson

Praise for Godless Morality

"A book of morals for our brave new world, by a very wise man indeed. Inspiring. Fascinating. Full of hope."
Fay Weldon

"His writing is lucid, convincing and manifestly compassionate. Everyone ought to read this book."
Dame Mary Warnock

"A passionate, provocative and common-sense challenge to easy cant."
Tristan Quinn, Observer
