Difficult Dialogues: Religion, Hope & Hopelessness

'Difficult Dialogues: Religion, Hope & Hopelessness' - A Difficult Dialogues Discussion of What Different Faith Traditions Have To Offer To The Feeling of Hopelessness and Depression. The topic for this discussion grew out of a comment by a student, who said that he remembers reaching a point where he felt duped, deceived, lied to. He had gone to church, he had done what he had been told to do, and yet, after all of that, he didn't find the meaningful life promised to him; he didn't find truth or peace or any sense of security. How do various faith traditions answer this very serious and honest indictment? What can they offer all the people who feel this way? What can they bring to the epidemic of depression and the feeling of being lost? What do they think causes this depression?
