Elizabeth Newman, "Divine Abundance: Leisure, the Basis of Academic Culture"
English | ISBN: 1532617763 | 2018 | 198 pages | PDF | 11 MB
It's time to say a good word for the ten o'clock scholar. The recovery of a flourishing academic culture-which is not the same as being a major research center-lies in the recovery of leisure. The heart of this practice is contemplation and Divine worship. It names, furthermore, our lives as being in communion with others, the cosmos, and, ultimately with God. True leisure reconfigures our compartmentalized space and distorted time, allowing us to experience Divine abundance that opens a path to the true restoration of the life of the mind.
