Sobre IBD

Based on the Thomas More Lectures John Dunne delivered at Yale University in 1971, Time and Myth analyzes man’s confrontation with the inevitability of death in the cultural, personal, and religious spheres, viewing each as a particular kind of myth shaped by the impact of time. With penetrating simplicity the author poses the timeless dilemma of the human condition and seeks to resolve it through stories of adventures, journeys, and voyages inspired by man’s encounter with death; stories of childhood, youth, manhood, and age; and, finally, stories of God and of man wrestling with God and the unknown.

The eternal in us is the person going through these p...
