The agon of being human …

… Moby-Dick, the relentless agon, a Christian malgre lui, radical Islamic terrorism, and my reading of works by "writers of faith".


My own agon has always been to cooperate, far better than I usually do, with God in becoming whoever He it is intends me to be.

As for a writer of faith who deals with the human agon, I would probably choose Georges Bernanos's Diary of a Country Priest.
