  • S. 151: „ROMANO GUARDINI, born of Italian parents in Germany, is a writer who combines the tendency of the German to be searching and methodical with the clarity of the Latin. In German, as well as in this excellent translation, one is always amazed at Guardini's sure-footed leadership through the thorniest and rockiest problems of the supernatural and the natural. With a sure grasp and a steady hand, in deceptively simple language, Guardini elimi nates all confusing verbiage and approaches his problem steadily and engagingly. Guardini is not only a consummate theologian, but a first rate psychologist, and is well informed in the fields of history, literature, science, and sociology. No one - with perhaps the exception of Jacques Maritain - has such a hold on the problems uppermost in the mind of modern man. His description of the different ages of man, the resulting crises of the faith, and their causes is a classic. No one has ever given a more Biblical explanation of the Christian meaning of Providence. Among Catholics Guardini - and his growing school - holds a unique position in his complete disregard of post-Tridentine apologetics, in his refusal to be sectarian, his lack of scholastic pretense and in his return to the person of our Lord. You always know that he has studied St. Thomas and patristic theology and that he is familiar with the mystics of old as well as of our own day, but there is no appeal to them, no quoting of dusted-off authorities, no quarreling or “opinionating." Guardini seems to lead you back to the prime source of Revelation with reason endowed by grace. His critics have often reproached him for being interested only in marginal issues and less in God than in the phenomenon of religion and have even seen in him a refined and irenic agnostic. How wrong they were! This book, like the forthcoming English translation of his magnum opus, shows a Catholicity that is so honest, so orthodox, so moderate, so profound that I would not hesitate to call him the bringer of a twentieth century "devotio moderna.” We should have more of Guardini. His quiet voice, like those of Otto Karrer, Lortz, Rahner, should be heard in America.“
