Discussion // Is there room for religion in Modernism?

I came across some interesting quotes in the local county newspaper this week from a young playwright, Olgethorpe University student Will Carter, who recently won first prize in the Agnes Scott College Writer's Festival. He describes his winning play "Line Please" as "an absurdist comedic critique of modernity," sourcing Dostoyevsky's Notes from Underground as his literary inspiration. Carter goes on, "I hate that in the modern world, we have to know everything; we must have a manual for life. I think mystery is a beautiful thing. As a Christian, I believe in a mysterious God, which I think is absolutely fantastic."
