About Me

My photo
A wooded mountain path, a clear rolling stream, a faithful dog by my side, the company of family and friends, a stack of compelling books, and a steaming cup of black coffee - these are a few of my favorite things.

The End of the Modern World, Romano Guardini

This is NOT about prophecy. Guardini is concerned with the problems that face our current epoch and with how we approach the next. Though some will find fault with Guardini simply for being a Catholic, I found his assessment of the modern collapse of Western civilization very astute. His observations regarding "power" and it's becoming the driving force in the coming epoch are salient. I also found merit in his application of the Christian faith to the issue compelling. His theology, though not evangelical per se, has depth. Very insightful and enlightening reading. I finished this book in August.
