Published in 1943 amidst the distractions of World War II, Religion of Tomorrow never received the proper recognition it deserved. Now some eighty years later, poet-philosopher John Elof Boodin's manifesto for a popular Christian renaissance is more necessary than ever. With an informative historical/biographical introduction and more than one hundred textual notes, editor Michael A. Flannery presents Boodin's spiritual roadmap for a new audience to listen and follow the divine lure towards greater creativity and fulfillment--to "learn by living." Boodin invites readers to embark upon their own Christian journeys with the poets and sages of the ages at their side. Here Boodin becomes the informed travel guide--well-equipped with the knowledge of history, the tools of science, the sensibilities of a poet, and the empathy of a fellow traveler to be encouraged as was Joshua to "be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go."

Swedish-born John Elof Boodin (1869-1950) emigrated to America in 1887 and entered Harvard ten years later. He earned his PhD under the idealist philosopher Josiah Royce and became close with the great American pragmatist William James. Under these two influences Boodin synthesized a unique metaphysic, the basis of his forward-looking process theology. Presented in Three Interpretations of the Universe and God and Creation, this book (his last) is the capstone of that Christ-centered trilogy.



Michael A. Flannery is professor emeritus of UAB Libraries at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. He is the author of America's Forgotten Poet-Philosopher: The Thought of John Elof Boodin in His Time and Ours (2023).
