Is the universe meaningless? or is there some way of developing a 'big picture' of reality that helps us decide our place and purpose in the universe.

This modern non-redemptive religion is called “modernism” or “liberalism.”...we shall be interested in showing that despite the liberal use of traditional phraseology, modern liberalism not only is a different religion from Christianity but belongs in a totally different class of religions. - Summary Adapted from Introduction
