Description

""This book explores what is happening to the human spirit in a culture shaped and driven by [globalization], a culture where dreams, imaginations and desires are all manipulated...." What do we really want? Noted theologian Mary Grey believes we have gotten out of touch with our deepest desires and that the root problem is our acquiescence in global capitalism's most problematic characteristics. Story and symbol, she argues, can put us back in touch with out "sacred longings." Focusing on such simple yet profound symbols as water, light, and sacred space, she tries to reinstill a spiritual quest. In the end, she envisions spirituality--a kind of ecomystical renewal--as an element in the transformation of desire, lived out in Christian community. "For desire to be reborn, for sacred longings even to be named, not to mention fulfilled, there needs to be an embracing of the way of renunciation, simplicity and sacrifice. And that is counter-cultural..." As Part One looks at how our culture has lost heart, and Part Two analyzes are restless hearts, Part Three asks us to take heart and rekindle our thirst for righteousness.
