The Prodigal World

by Fulton Sheen

Overview

Sheen's extraordinarily insightful, if unique, interpretation of the Parable of the Prodigal Son in this work is historical rather than moral. The younger son in the parable is Western Civilization which has squandered its spiritual capital in riotous living. Its redemption is the substance of these meditations.
