It seems ridiculous but there's all those books about romance, suggesting love cures all, allowing successful lovers to live happily ever after.

************ Being happy or in love doesn't meet your dictionary's definition of transcendence. Both are well within the range of human experience.

You are correct, however, that the Bible is one of the foundational texts of Western civilization.
