Call them archetypal or mythic. They place us in touch with our humanity and offer a foundation for thinking freshly about everyday situations."
Brother David Steindl-Rast, OSB, was born in Vienna, Austria, in 1926. He received his PhD from the University of Vienna in 1952 and moved to the United States.
