This has to be the book with some of the most dense and least accessible writing that I have read for a while, and I'm in the middle of a theology degree so that is saying something. This is a bit of a shame, because I think that the heart of what the author is saying is spot on, and his examples are strong. He identifies gaping holes in our culture that rob of us our selves. We drills down to the root causes of the myth of choice and the despoilment of childhood and calls us to mourn and change. Powerful stuff, but it takes some digging out.

Why does our contemporary culture find it so hard to handle certain concepts and images? What aspects of the range of human possibilities have been lost in modernity and post-modernity? Rowan Williams argues that we have to let go of a number of crucial imaginative patterns - icons - for thinking about ourselves. He considers areas such as images of childhood, our awkwardness at speaking about community, our unwillingness to think seriously about remorse and our devastating lack of vocabulary for the growth and nurture of the self through time. This timely book by a master of contemporary thought sketches out a renewed language for the soul. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
