Abstract
“In [The Road Not Traveled], Peck clearly sees himself among a tiny and elect group of saints who, by participating in God's omniscience, also ‘share His agony,’ and who walk ahead, utterly alone….

He has apparently learned, in the intervening years, that spiritual development means not isolation, but the capacity for community.”
