The Prematurely Saved And Other Varieties of the Religious Experience by John Garvey |
|
|
The unorthodox views of an Orthodox priest who says that true spirituality involves an awakening, a sharpening of our awareness, a counter-cultural force. "When I go into a church," he writes, "and see banners which say things like `Have a Nice Day' or when the kids bring home cards with stylized pictures of wheat and a few unchallengeably pleasant words, something in me yearns for a holy card of St. Lucy bearing her very real looking eyeballs on a plate: now there's religion!" The author's column appears regularly in Commonweal. ISBN 0-87243-150-9 $8.95 |
