A Rumour of Angels: Modern Society and the Rediscovery of the Supernatural - Peter L. Berger

Can a modern, scientific world still leave room for the sacred? In A Rumour of Angels, celebrated sociologist Peter L. Berger explores one of the twentieth century's most enduring questions, arguing that even in an increasingly secular society, glimpses of transcendence continue to emerge through ordinary human experience. Rather than defending religion through doctrine, Berger searches for subtle "signals of transcendence" hidden within everyday life, from hope and humour to morality and love.

Thoughtful, elegant and deeply philosophical, this Pelican classic bridges sociology, theology and cultural criticism without becoming overly academic. Berger invites readers of all beliefs to reconsider the relationship between faith and modernity, offering a compelling meditation on why the search for meaning persists even in an age that often claims to have outgrown the supernatural.
