Dunne seeks a vision like that of the great circle of love an old Bedouin described to Lawrence of Arabia,\"The love is from God and of God and towards God.\" The modern vision of the world is one of evolution, life arising from matter, intelligence arising from life. The ancient vision was one of emanation, everything cascading down from the One. Dunne imagines bringing the two together into a great circle, everything coming from God and returning to God, where everything is \"from God and of God and towards God.\" \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis inspirational work features a series of meditations by Dunne, enriched by his wide-ranging insights and quotations from the areas of theology, philosophy, and literature.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJohn S.
