From Monk to Modernity, Second Edition: The Challenge of Modern Thinking

By Dominic Kirkham

Book Overview

After spending many years in a religious order, Dominic Kirkham describes how he was driven to meet the challenge of modern thinking, an exercise that has proved both freeing and frightening. He says this has been "something of a personal odyssey, which now spans a lifetime of over six decades and is still ongoing." He adds that "the presumption of the book is that this is of more than personal interest because the subject matter affects everyone; my personal journey will no doubt reflect that of many others." In a broad sweep from Neolithic times to the twenty-first century, he considers our human quest for meaning and a good life, and how we can engage in it today.
