Synopsis

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.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Dominic Kirkham began a teaching career in 1968 before joining a religious order. Over the subsequent thirty years he fulfilled many roles as chaplain, teacher, parochial priest, and community activist. Subsequently, he moved beyond the church, and over the following twenty years took up a variety of roles running community enterprises and social projects. These experiences provided the background to a wide range of writing and a published work.
