BOOK SERIES
THE PRODIGAL WORLD
Fulton J Sheen's
insightful interpretation of the Parable of the Prodigal Son is historical
rather than moral. He interprets the younger son as Western Civilisation and
after being in union with the Father's House, the Church, Western Civilisation finally asked its Spiritual Father for its share of the inheritance- spiritual
capital in the form of the eternal truths necessary for salvation.
This delightful, invaluable
paperback book of 160 pages is thought provoking and offers us reflective
opportunities to consider what are the eternal truths necessary for salvation
in our lives. It is easy reading as 'holiday or retreat book' or can be read
chapter by chapter slowly (with days in between) without losing the thread.
By considering Sheen's
interpretation of the Parable of the Prodigal Son, it can also provide greater
understanding of the parable itself and how the eternal truths necessary for
salvation in our lives are essential to a greater nurturing of faith.
