Living in Wonder

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Open this book and it gets real weird, real fast. Or don’t open it—things are going to get weird anyway. A society founded on the dogmatic exclusion of everything that eludes reductive explanation will ultimately find itself at a loss, and this is now our situation. As the crisis of the West unfolds, we have begun to get an inkling that our picture of reality has been cramped and partial. The good news is that this bewilderment makes our time pregnant with the possibility of discovery. In Living in Wonder, Rod Dreher tells us that “the world is not what we think it is. It is far more mysterious, exciting, and adventurous.” Transcending cultural doomsaying, Dreher achieves, and invites us to, a new freshness of spirit.”
