Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Lord Northbourne (1896-1982), born Walter Ernest Christopher James, Fourth Baron Northbourne of Kent, England, was an agriculturist, educator, translator, and writer on both agriculture and comparative religion. Educated at Oxford, he was for many years Provost of Wye College, the agricultural college of London University. In 2022, Angelico Press republished Lord Northbourne's influential book Look to the Land, in which he introduced to the world the term 'organic farming.' Northbourne had a gift for expressing the profoundest spiritual truths in simple, graceful language.'I have just finished reading your book Religion in the Modern World. Not only is the book interesting, but I have found it quite salutary and helpful in my own case. It has helped me to organize my ideas at a time when we in the Catholic Church, and in the monastic Orders, are being pulled this way and that. Traditions of great importance and vitality are being questioned along with more trivial customs, and I do not think that those who are doing the questioning are always distinguished for their wisdom or even their information. I could not agree more fully with your principles and with your application of them. . . It is most important first of all to understand deeply and live one's own tradition, not confusing it with what is foreign to it, if one is to seriously appreciate other traditions and distinguish in them what is close to one's own and what is, perhaps, irreconcilable with one's own. The great danger at the moment is a huge muddling and confusing of the spiritual traditions that still survive. As you so well point out, this would be crowning the devil's work. . . . I am very grateful for your important and thoughtful book, and I am sure you can see I am in the deepest possible sympathy with your views.' --from a letter to the author from Fr Thomas Merton.…
