At first this was going to be a chore of a book to get through. But as I immersed myself into the book I realized that the ideas of the contrariness built into the human condition and how it related to man's desire to live forever as reflected in heaven was a built in wish that didn't make sense. But even so it is one that should be passionately felt and pursued. So many ideas from the thinkers of his day were included. The book gives light to the variety and depth of catholic thought. ( )
