“THERE are moments when the obscurity of history seems to be suddenly illuminated by some sign of divine purpose. There are moments of crisis in the literal sense of the word—times if judgment when the powers of this world are tried and condemned and when the course of history suddenly flows into a new channel. Such was the age of the Hebrew prophets, such was the age of St. Augustine, and such is the age in which we have the privilege and the misfortune to live today. For the present century has been an apocalyptic age—a time of judgment in which the established powers and authorities of the world have been put through the fire and destroyed or renewed, and when civilizations that have endured for thousands of years are being forced into a new mold.”
~Christopher Dawson: The Movement of World Revolution. (1959)
