In Oracles and Miracles, Alain masterfully explores the human journey through history, emphasizing the need to connect with ancient wisdom to understand modern beliefs. By contrasting the superstitions of the past with the rationality of Catholicism, he reveals the power of imagination in shaping societies and highlights the dangers of dismissing history’s complexities in favor of utopian simplicity or cynicism.
