Paul Kingsnorth is a writer, poet, thinker, an Englishman living in Ireland with his family. Many have come to know him through his work in the past few years. He has figured prominently in a number of significant publications and events as various corners of our culture become hungry for conversations and thoughts that make sense of our times. In August of 2020, I received an email from an English writer (Kingsnorth) who had recently become Orthodox. It was a thank you note for my writing. I did not realize then that its author would be speaking to so many about his journey nor so incisively about this time in our lives. I had the pleasure of meeting him face-to-face last year and to renew our acquaintance and friendship. He has a new book appearing this autumn (Against the Machine). Recently, I was invited to do an interview with him regarding Modernity and Orthodox Christianity as part of a promotional series for his new book. I share it here with joy.
