Prodigal World

How We Abandoned God and Suffered the Consequences 

Like the Prodigal Son of the biblical parable, Western society has run away from God and wasted its inheritance – the Christian beliefs and ethics upon which our culture has been built over centuries.  We now find ourselves lost, despairing and hungry.

In this collection of incisive essays, Phillip Jensen helps us to understand where we went wrong.  He looks in general at ‘the problem’ generated by our rejection of God, as well as at specific issues (such as utilitarianism) and specific intellectuals (such as Bertrand Russell and John Ralston Saul).
