At a Breezy Time of Day

Book Description

At a Breezy Time of Day offers readers a unique window into the mind of a thoughtful scholar through a collection of interviews spanning diverse topics from theology to everyday life. Unlike traditional essay collections, this book presents the spontaneous wisdom that emerges when someone poses unexpected questions and invites genuine dialogue.

James V. Schall responds to inquiries from various sources, addressing subjects that range from sports and education to God and Plato. The interview format creates an intimate atmosphere where ideas unfold naturally, revealing insights that might never surface in formal writing. Each conversation captures the immediacy of spoken thought, making complex theological and philosophical concepts feel accessible and personally relevant.

The collection demonstrates how the same profound questions can yield fresh perspectives when approached from different angles. Readers will discover that truth becomes more approachable when it carries the warmth of human voice and genuine exchange. These conversations, originally scattered across various publications, now form a cohesive exploration of faith, knowledge, and the eternal human search for understanding.

Beginning with a playful reference to the first interview in Eden, Schall invites readers into an ongoing conversation about what it means to seek wisdom in community with others. The book celebrates both the knowledge we possess and the mysteries that remain, encouraging readers to embrace the joy of intellectual and spiritual discovery through meaningful dialogue.
