Mere Spirituality eBook

Is the Collapse of Western Civilization Inevitable?

 

For centuries, Western civilization was securely balanced on the pillars of science, philosophy, and spirituality. But as science increasingly took center stage, the spiritual dimension was cast aside—leaving society destabilized, disoriented, and desperate for meaning.

 

Mere Spirituality confronts this crisis head-on, exposing the frailty of a worldview built solely on the material reality. Drawing on anthropology, history, and biblical wisdom, Joshua Spatha reveals how Western culture traded the spiritual for the superficial and profound meaning for material pleasure—and why that devil’s bargain is now proving catastrophic.

 

But this is not just a critique—it is an invitation.

 

Mere Spirituality calls us to rediscover the wisdom of ancient spiritual disciplines, to re-examine the foundations that once sustained civilization, and to reclaim the essential connection between faith and reason. In doing so, Joshua Spatha shows how spirituality is not the opposite of rationality, but a critical and complimentary component of it.

 

Whether you are a skeptic, seeker, or believer, this book will challenge your assumptions, awaken your curiosity, and offer a path forward—not just for the individual, but for society—offering modern insights to ancient answers for the current crisis.
