"This book challenges both the mind and the conscience. It tests contemporary theology against the radical values of the Sermon on the Mount. And although it provides more questions than answers, those questions cut to the quick of what it means to be a Christian in today's world-challenging our complacencies, questioning our assumptions, and confronting us with the frightening possibility that we may, in fact, be so mesmerized by the idols of the marketplace, the media, and the state, that we simply no longer know what it means to honor God above all other things or what it means to truly love our neighbors as ourselves." - Robert Inchausti, author of Thomas Merton's American Prophecy
