Renunciation

Fiction

“Renunciation is a stimulating and thought-provoking novel that exposes the reader to a wide range of religious and philosophical ideas. These ideas are unfolded through the relationship of two brothers. Will converts to Bhakti Dharma, a new religion, in 1971 while Peter becomes a religious scholar. They take different, and at times painfully divergent, paths as they each struggle to understand faith. The novel captures the spiritual quest of that decade.”
