Charles Taylor is one of the most influential minds of the 20th century. For Taylor secular modernity is not only a story of disenchantment and fading values, but an opportunity for increased spiritual intensity—what he calls “Catholic modernit[ies].”

I've said it before, so I might as well say it again: in a year with neither NAPS nor Oxford, why not submit your work to the Canadian Society of Patristic Studies conference this May in Toronto? Should be a great event with a committed group of scholars.
Friendly reminder that you have one more week to submit your application to present at the Annual Meeting in Toronto! Applications close on January 31! The conference is from May 28-30 at York University. Join us!! cspsacep.ca/appel-de-communi…
