Michael Pakaluk Explains The Shock of Holiness

This episode will answer questions like: Is holiness actually shocking? What is romantic about the everyday life of a holy person? Philosopher and professor of economics, Michael Pakaluk seeks to answer those questions and challenge readers to pursue both holiness and romance in his new book, "THE SHOCK OF HOLINESS: FINDING THE ROMANCE OF EVERYDAY LIFE" (Ignatius Press). Pakaluk (Ph.D. Harvard, philosophy) is professor of political economy. THE SHOCK OF HOLINESS acts as a guide on many of life’s most pressing issues: marriage, sex, sacrifice, daily stress of everyday life and how to live out holiness. Each chapter can be read in a few minutes but offers several points to contemplate about how to live a life of holiness. Pakaluk, in THE SHOCK OF HOLINESS, attests that Christian sanctity is far nearer and more beautiful than we think.
