Hledání Boha i v jeho mlčení.

Víra chápe život jako dialog, nevíra jako monolog. Víra předpokládá život otevřený hloubce, na rozdíl od života na mělčině. Ježíš nás vyzývá: Zajeďte na hlubinu. Ale není veškerá hloubka jen naší chlácholivou iluzí? Vypovídá naše žízeň skutečně něco o existenci pramene? A na co vsadíš svůj život ty?

"Co je Boh?"
"Otvorenost pre hlbku a prekvapenie."

Kniha, ktora ukazuje novu tvar teologie, ktora nielen spaja, ale priamo stavia na tom, co povazujeme za nespojitelne: na strete viery a neviery. Vhodne pre 21. storocie.

Jeden z mojich obľúbených autor píše o téme, ktorú v sebe veľmi často riešim a myslím si, že každý rozumný človek. Nie je jednoduché ako kresťan prijať ateistov a ich ateizmus. Ako je rozdiel medzi kresťanom a kresťanom, tak je rozdiel medzi ateistom a ateistom. To sa učím celý život, že môžu byť aj medzi kresťanmi ľudia dobrí i zlí, tak i medzi atestami.

Autori idú ešte viac k podstate tohto problému. A vysvetľujú ako nám kresťanom môžu byť ateisti zrkadlom a my im. Zároveň píšu o tom ako veriaci aj neveriaci človek sa nachádza v každom z nás a nemali by sme potláčať ani jedného, ale učiť sa s nimi žiť.

Em português foi editado pelas Paulinas e intitula-se “O abandono de Deus”. Recomendo vivamente a sua leituras aos meus amigos ateus e cristãos. Encontrei ressonância com muito daquilo que tenho pensado, vivido e escrito.
