Emerging from the thought-provoking discussions and correspondence
Simone Weil had with the Reverend Father Perrin, this classic collection
of essays contains the renowned philosopher and social activist's most
profound meditations on the relationship of human life to the realm of
the transcendent. An enduring masterwork and "one of the most neglected
resources of our century" (Adrienne Rich), Waiting for God will
continue to influence spiritual and political thought for centuries to
come.
