Alan Watts and his writings

Way back I read a few books by Alan Watts. Not totally impressed, and I left the guy behind with thoughts that he was maybe a bit superficial and new agey. But a few years ago after a long journey of my own - call it an inner journey but maybe that seems a bit pretentious - I picked up a book of his in zen, and it was very good. Hit the mark. Since then I dipped into a few others by him and they are quite impressive.

One I am reading at the moment, "Beyond Theology: The Art of Godmanship" , is particularly good. Chapter Three very much so, "How must we have faith".

Anyone else know of him?

Idolatry is not the use of images, but confusing them with what they represent, and in this respect mental images and lofty abstractions can be more insidious than bronze idols.
