"Reason and the Sacred" alludes to the relation between Philosophy and Sacred Doctrine, or between reason and faith, considering both as faculties of the human psyche, one not negating the other vis-à-vis the immanent reaches of the psyche as to its purpose, but one enhancing the other in the perfection of each's domain. Faith is thus not antithetical to reason except if employed on the domain of the latter, to attain certainty and experience truth. The latter part of this compilation, namely Book III, includes "Ancient Ethiopia: Gold in Wax," an essay on the history of conceivably the oldest civilization, following a meditative and intuitive writing on mysticism and theology, and a religio-anthropological and historical essay about the ancient Judeo-Christian Church of Ethiopia.
