New book by one of our own...

Dr. Glenn Olsen, a member of the Cathedral Parish and a member of the School Board for the Choir School has recently had a new book published by the Catholic University of America Press entitled The Turn to the Transcendence.Dr. Olsen's book is described by the CUA Press as

"an exhaustively researched and persuasive account of how religion has been reshaped in the modern period. Though ancient and medieval western writers used various metaphors to express the idea that humans are aligned to the universe, they also believed that humans are oriented toward something “above” or transcending themselves. In recent centuries, however, the sense that humans, while living in nature and history, are oriented to transcendence has seemingly diminished. For many, God or the gods have all but disappeared from secular life."

For more information on the book the CUA Press information can be found here, and as an alternative you can watch for publication details here.

Dr. Olsen's grandchildren Joseph (7th), Maria (6th) and Michael (2nd) are students at the Choir School. Congratulations to Dr. Olsen!
