The Walker Percy List isn't dead after all. That's good news.
>> "Christianity is so on target because at the heart of it is the
acknowledgment that man has a problem; that man is in deep,
deep trouble." <<
It sounds far more like Percy than Tolstoy. Tolstoy, busy warring
with the Russian Orthodox Church, saw himself as a Christian
prophet, but had a pretty low opinion of Christianity as such unless
it was willing to be remade along Tolstoyan lines. I doubt he would
have enjoyed Walker Percy's company.
By the way, I have a book just out called "Confession: Doorway to
Forgiveness." One of the chapters has a long quote from Percy's
"Thanatos Syndrome." The chapter is web posted at:
