The Splendor of Creation: The Triumph of the Divine Will on Earth and the Era of Peace in the Writings of the Church Fathers, Doctors and Mystics

A midst the dark and turbulent times in which we are living, the prophetic voice of Pope John Paul II has assured us again and again that we are living in the pre-dawn darkness of a bright new day and has urged us to renew our hope in “the definitive coming of the Kingdom of God” (Tertio Millenio Adveniente). Father Iannuzzi’s magnificent book, The Splendor of Creation, will assist us greatly in doing just that. The fruit of exhaustive and painstaking research, it helps us peer into two thousand years of reflection on the prayer which the Lord Jesus commanded us to pray together with Him. And still more, it presents us with convincing evidence that the day when this prayer will be answered is near at hand. + Archbishop George Pearce Diocese of Providence, R.I.
