My guest today is the author of numerous books and a professor at Abilene Christian University. His recent work titled, "Hunting Magic Eels: Recovering an Enchanted Faith in a Skeptical Age" is about exploring this ache many of us feel and how to become alive in the adventure of following God.
"We live in a secular age, a world dominated by science and technology. Increasing numbers of us don't believe in God anymore. We don't expect miracles. We've grown up and left those fairytales behind, culturally and personally.
Yet five hundred years ago the world was very much enchanted. It was a world where God existed and the devil was real. It was a world full of angels and demons. It was a world of holy wells and magical eels. But since the Protestant Reformation and the beginning of the Enlightenment, the world, in the West at least, has become increasingly disenchanted."
