Rural Solution Modern Catholic Voices on Going Back to the Land

A compelling and persuasive outline for the Catholic church's support of rural living is presented in this collection of contemporary writings on why city-dwelling Catholics should settle and work in the country. Discussions of the practice of retreat accompany arguments of the principles of faith, including Biblical teachings on the theological dimensions of Jesus Christ's upbringing in Nazareth; economic arguments that city life and jobs are often tied to capitalist principles; and ecological and conservationist positions that a Christian should maintain a balanced relationship with the earth.

  • "Is a return to the land utopian folly or outdated futility? Or is it rather the sine qua non for a Catholic Renaissance in every aspect of our temporal, intellectual, cultural and religious lives? The writings in this book are unanimous in declaring that the return to the land is the Catholic solution: one that is desirable, practical and urgently needed. It is neither nostalgia nor daydreaming, but rather the necessary foundation for a society based on the life of Nazareth and nourished by the sacrifice of Calvary. -- Back Cover."
