"Il senso religioso" è il volume primo del PerCorso, nel quale don Giussani riassume il suo itinerario di pensiero e di esperienza. L'opera identifica nel senso religioso l'essenza stessa della razionalità e la radice della coscienza umana. Il senso religioso si colloca secondo l'autore a livello dell'esperienza elementare di ciascun uomo, là dove l'io si pone domande sul significato della vita, della realtà, di tutto ciò che accade. È la realtà, infatti, che mette in moto gli interrogativi ultimi sul significato esauriente dell'esistenza.
