The Apocalypse of the Sovereign Self is a collection of fictional and true stories that focus on two themes: the autonomous self, which is currently in a state of crisis, and the person, whose Christian origins and contours have long been forgotten. The continual cultural and confessional annihilation of Christianity exemplifies the truth of Christ's warning: "Apart from me, you can do nothing" (Jn 15:5). For these words were addressed to the first Christians, and they now apply not only to Christians but also to those whose only exposure to Christ has been cultural, those who mistakenly believe that the spiritual resources that fostered and sustained human dignity will survive the renunciation of the faith that gave that dignity its salience.
