The former is grounded in our Judeo-Christian tradition, the latter in radical notions of liberty and equality that are tearing us asunder. Donohue explains how the religious vision acknowledges belief in God, truth, human nature, natural law, moral absolutes, and Original Sin. It understands the limits of the human condition and thus rejects the notion that human perfectibility can be realized on earth.

Times change, but human nature does not. Neither do the daily struggles that all Christians experience in their walk with the Lord.
