In the unlikeliest of places - shopping malls, sports stadiums, and university campuses - we find ourselves unwittingly caught up in ancient rituals that quietly shape our deepest desires. As Augustine so astutely observed, we are creatures driven by our longings, and it is these very passions that ultimately define us. In Desiring the Kingdom, James K. A. Smith launches a provocative exploration of the interplay between liturgy and desire, redirecting our affections towards the ultimate good: God. By reimagining education as a form of worship, Smith offers a revolutionary vision for cultivating a deeper, more intentional relationship with the divine. This groundbreaking work is sure to resonate with scholars, ministry leaders, and anyone seeking to understand the intricate dance between culture, desire, and the human experience.
