Secularism has robbed contempoary civilisation of its center. It has swept aside traditional concerns such as reverence for the individual, respect for the life of the mind, and awe for the things of the spirit. As D Bruce Lockerbie asserts in this compelling analysis, it has left modern humanity in a dizzying spin.
From common elements of life - television, sport, art - and from the exotic and bizarre, Lockerbie reveals mankind cut off from the past and left with no sense of the meaning of life. Yet, within many people there is a latent longing for meaning, for a sense of purpose of the universe, for transcendence. Even in the confusion of the secular society, this book declares, the "still point of the turning world" may yet be found. When it is found, the seeker will discover not a place but a Person -the Lord of the universe, Jesus of Nazareth, the World-Made-Flesh.
