Getting Nowhere: Christian Hope & Utopian Dream

Through an insightful, literary treatment of various utopian visions, Peter Hawkins examines the human urge for widespread happiness, while pondering our consistent failure to produce it. Hawkins draws from biblical notions of paradise, Plato's Republic, More's Utopia, Bellamy, Orwell, Le Corbusier, B. F. Skinner, and Walker Percy, locating in each the usefulness and accountability of the Utopian impulse.
