He convincingly argues that we are enteringinto a new historical moment, a period which will only be properlydefined and named by those who come after us, as were the Renaissanceand the Enlightenment. Erickson predicts a failure and eventualbreakdown of traditional values and institutions resulting in adramatic change in our understanding of human life. This heillustrates with clear examples from contemporary political, economicand religious circumstances.
