The Christian future or the modern mind outrun

---

In this book he writes about secularization, hermeneutics, the gift of language, the meaning of personhood, and Christianity without old-line appeal to transcendence. A generation that pays some attention to McLuhan, Marcuse, Altizer, Fuller (Buckminster), Brown (Norman O.) ought at last to be ready to confront Rosenstock-Huessy, whose erudition and spirit outstrip theirs. Some of the contexts of this book may sound a little archaic; many of its prophecies have begun to come true; none of its spirit is obsolete."
Walter J. Ong writes that:
"The sweeping historical insights of Rosenstock-Huessy are some of the sharpest and freshest our age has known. His deep historical and religious penetration of the Old World past is joined to a rare understanding of the profundities of the American experience and of the human aspects of technology. Both a tirelessly critical spirit and an unquenchable hope suffuse his thought in 'The Christian Future' as elsewhere. He has had the foresight to be an ecumenicist even before the ecumenical age."
