Christian Living

“Owen Thomas is a prophet, in the biblical sense of the word, calling a community to examine its way of life and look to the rock from which it was quarried. His book is progressive, at times radical, precisely because it is rooted in the best of a tradition he knows as well as anyone. The scope of these essays is remarkable-from philosophical theology to parish administration-with a solid center in the life of the Spirit, lived amid the perplexities of history.”
