Wonder & Joy

Wiker does a great job of placing polarized, knee-jerk, talking point positions in the same space - refusing to be drawn into the poles. As a Catholic should, he looks for the via media - not a compromise, but a higher place where the tension between irreconcilables is resolved. His book is challenging, because it invites us to do the same as we develop our thoughts about the place of the human being in the natural order.
