Textul de pe ultima copertă

For millennia humans knew the stars as well as we know our own backyards. Yet today many if not most of us have lost vital connections with our natural world, and so have in many ways lost our sense of wonder. In the thoughtful, genre-bending nonfiction tradition of Wendell Berry and Walker Percy, Dale Allison explores the loss of wonder in Western society. Mining insights from sources as diverse as ancient creation myths and contemporary children's books, he highlights our ongoing disconnect from the cosmos, tracing its undeniable spiritual and philosophical impact. "The Luminous Dusk" is an elegant, lyrical call to seek the stillness of God in our clamorous world.

Descriere

Allison's six elegant and profound essays call Christians to a life of sustained wonder, open to God and connected to the creation, a life that chooses divine ascent over culture's reflexive mediocrity.
