From the back cover:
Many in the Church have accepted modernity in their effort to speak to the modern world, and not nearly enough attention has been given to trying to disentangle the complex of ideas and half-formulated convictions that constitute the mind-set which is in fact inimical to Christianity.
The first aim of this book is to examine the origins and present day influence of modernity, and then to argue that there is nothing, or should be nothing, in the Christian’s concern for the modern world that requires accepting this damaging mind-set in connection with the highest form of worship, the Mass.
The second aim of this book is to show that the sources of a genuine liturgical renewal are to be found in a heightened sense of the centrality of the Mass and a return to a theology compatible with The Catechism of the Catholic Church.
“Fr Robinson’s book is a philosopher’s gift to the Catholic liturgy. He provides a thoroughly lucid account of the climate of ideas which handicaps the celebration of Catholic worship in the modern world. This is a diagnosis which shows how far-reaching must be the cure.” – Fr Aidan Nichols, O.P.
"This book is enormously impressive. The writing is beautifully clear, the treatment of ideas is both sophisticated and straightforward, and the central thesis masterfully argued. A book of great importance." – Keith Cassidy, Ph.D.
"We advance to the truth by the experience of error; we succeed through failures. We know not how to do right except by having done wrong... Such is the process by which we succeed; we walk to Heaven backwards." – John Henry Cardinal Newman
