In The Rivers North of the Future David Cayley has compiled Ivan
Illich's moving and insightful thoughts concerning the fate of the
Christian Gospel. Illich's view, which could be summed up as "the
corruption of the best is the worst," is that Jesus' call to love
more abundantly became the basis for new forms of power in the
hands of those who organized and administered this New Testament.
Illich also explores the invention of technology, the road from
hospitality to the hospital, the criminalization of sin, the church
as the template of the modern state, and the death of nature.
Illich's analysis of contemporary society as a congealed and
corrupted Christianity is both a bold historical hypothesis and a
call to believers to re-invent the Christian church. With a
foreword by Charles Taylor. Ivan Illich (1926-2002) was a brilliant
polymath, an iconoclastic thinker, and a prolific writer. He was a
priest, vice-rector of a university, founder of the Centre for
Intercultural Documentation in Cuernavaca, Mexico, and author of
numerous books, including Deschooling Society, Tools for
Conviviality, Energy and Equity, and Medical Nemesis.
