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.

    Did you mean agon?

    Yes. But my Apple spellchecker disagreed. It is fixed.

      Bernanos, Dusty on my bookshelf, now moves because of your recommendation to the top ten on my must read list. Thanks.
