Like all writers of really good spiritual theology, John Dunne
never betrays his subject matter with the kind of pious posturing
or psycho-babble gimmickry that too often passes for spiritual
writing. Dunne's theological sensitivity is alert to nuance without
becoming trapped into mere jargon. His care for the heart of
authentic spirituality, like Henri Nouwen's, is steady and
believable. Dunne chooses the classical religious metaphor of the
'journey' and invites his readers to join him in a journey into
solitude and back again into the human circle. He insists that we
accept as guides in this journey the great spiritual masters of the
Eastern and Western traditions. Thus in reading Reasons of the
Heart, we find ourselves in the presence of some of the best
insights of John's Gospel, Augustine, Aquinas, Dante, Pascal,
Kierkegaard, Buber, the Buddha, and Jesus. Dunne skillfully invites
the reader to 'pass over' to a religious and theological vision of
God and of our common humanity in our journey to authentic
spirituality. Like Whitehead, Dunne believes that religion, above
all, has to do with what an individual does with his/her
solitariness. More than Whitehead, Dunne is concerned not only to
have the individual enter solitariness, but also finally to leave
it behind and rejoin the human community.
