I am sure that is because he didn't have a degree.

The Death of Ivan Ilyich.

Big pitch for family togetherness and the worth of religion.

Morley wrote:Very nice work, Jack. I admit that I kind of expected Hans Küng's On Being a Christian to be on your list.


I enjoyed this book and think it is a worthwhile contemplation.
His book Justification , Doctrine Karl Barth and a Catholic Reflection set me on my ear.

It is an older book of his and may be more difficult to find. I read a worn copy from the public library some time past.
