Walter M. Miller, Jr. s A Canticle for Leibowitz is a
timeless story about apocalyptic cycles, conflicts
and similarities between religion and science,
religious ethics and secular ethics, sin and
redemption, myth and preternatural innocence.
Canticle is a very religious story about a monastery
dedicated to preserving scientific knowledge from the
time before nuclear war which devastated the world
and reduced humanity to a pre-technological
civilization. The Catholic Church and this monastery
are portrayed as a bastion of civilization amidst
barbarians and a light of faith amidst atheism.
Unfortunately, humanity destroys the Earth once
again, but Miller ends with two beacons of hope: a
starship headed for the unknown to help humanity
begin again and the preternaturally innocent Rachel
who portends a future for similarly innocent human
beings repopulating the Earth. Thus, faith
ultimately triumphs over atheism even in the midst of
almost total catastrophe.
