What happens to people when they start to wonder is this all there is to life?

Our friend Os Guinness calls this a signal of transcendence, but what exactly does that mean?

How do the life stories of people like C.S. Lewis,

G. K. Chesterton, and Malcolm Muggeridge provide examples of these small openings

into the window of the transcendent?

We answer these questions and more with our guest. I admit one of my

favorites, Os Guinness and his new book, Signals of Transcendants. I'm your host, Scott Ray.

And I'm your co-host, Sean Macau. This is Think Biblically from tablet

school of theology at Biola University. Oz welcome. You are one of our very

favorites. It's delightful to have you with us. Thanks so much for this new book,

Signals of Transcendants. Tell us a little

bit, the style of this is different from a lot of your other works. What was your purpose

in writing this book and who do you think the audience will be for this?

Well, what a privilege to be on. this book and who do you think the audience will be for this?

Well, I want a privilege to be on with you again, one of my favorite programs to put it mildly.

Now, this is an idea that I first got from my mentor Peter Berger, who talks about signals of

transcendence as experiences people have which puncture what they actually believe up till that moment and point beyond it.

Those are the two key words, puncture and point.

They point if this signal is really as credible as it seems, what does it lead to?

And so in effect they then become searches or seekers.

Now I think the idea is very important today because again as Peter Berger used to say.

Our modern world, our world of modern modernity is what he called a world without windows.
