Weilding his degrees in theology and history like twin daggers, White ( A Search for the Spiritual: Exploring Real Christianity) lays bare the zietgeist, exposing the problems of postmodernity (pluralization, relativism, humanism) while concentrating on the solutions (prayer, discipline, reading to develop the mind), and especially those which we can exhibit in our own lives. The author brings such varied voices as Bruce Cockburn and Peter Kreeft to life as he portrays the giants of intellectualism as forming a still active troupe, rather than relying on history as a tableau. |
