For millennia humans knew the stars as well as we know our own backyards. Yet, many if not most of us have lost vital connections with our natural world, and lost our sense of wonder. This book charts the effects of loss of wonder in Western society. It highlights our disconnect from the cosmos, tracing its spiritual and philosophical impact.
Dale C Allison Jr is Erret M Grable Professor of New Testament Exegesis and Early Christianity at Pittsburgh Theological Seminary. He has written numerous books and is currently working on a full-length commentary on the Book of James.
Spirit & Life "A provocative critique of modernity that is at once faithful and skeptical, serious and humourous." Richard Foster -- author of Celebration of Discipline "Dale Allison's voice is one that needs to be heard today. He is steeped in both biblical and classical literature and brings that vast reservoir to bear upon his insightful critique of contemporary society." Virginia Stem Owens -- author of Looking for Jesus "The Luminous Dusk is one of those rare books that simultaneously illuminate and delight. Reading it, one feels the world expand and resolves hereafter to lead a more spacious, less trivial life." Harold Fickett -- author of The Living Christ "An exhilarating investigation of modern culture and the sources of spiritual experience. . . The Luminous Dusk convicts us of how we put ourselves apart from the transcendent and urges us to reconsider. This book is a treasure." Scot McKnight -- author of Embracing Grace "Dale Allison asks if the stillness of God is not an invitation for us to listen. May we, with him, become more attentive as we seek wisdom."
