More about the book
Exploring the profound concept of desire, the book delves into the idea that human hearts remain restless without God, as articulated by Saint Augustine. Gilbert Meilaender engages Augustine as a dialogue partner to examine enduring human struggles related to duty, politics, sex, and grief. His insightful analysis clarifies misconceptions about Augustine while drawing connections to C. S. Lewis and Catholic moral theology. Ultimately, it presents a vision of life marked by incompleteness, encouraging readers to seek fulfillment in God rather than despairing over moral shortcomings.
