About this book
“Prophetic history is a theology of history, an interpretation of history from the point of view of the Christ Event.” — Sergius Wroblewski, OFM
Fr. Sergius Wroblewski reads the story of the modern West as salvation history, seeking “the creative and redemptive presence of eternity in time.” He traces the secularization of a once-Christian civilization through four revolutions: the Scientific Revolution, which shook faith in Revelation; the French Revolution, which enthroned Reason; the Industrial Revolution; and the Marxist revolution.
He then reads the two World Wars as a divine judgment, with chapters on the failure of Christians in Germany, Poland and the Final Solution, and modern anti-Semitism, before turning to the Christian answer in the teaching of Pope John XXIII and Pope Paul VI, and to the message of Fatima.
A book to set the reader thinking, and to see in the events of history that the stream of providence flows through the past and present.
