About the author

John Martin Hull was Emeritus Professor of Religious Education at the University of Birmingham. He was the author of a number of books and many articles in the fields of religious education, practical theology and disability. The latter interest arose from his experiences, and personal and theological reflections, on becoming blind in mid-career. He edited the British Journal of Religious Education for 25 years, and co-founded the International Seminar on Religious Education and Values, of which he was general secretary for 32 years, and president emeritus at the time of his death. After retirement he pursued a further interest as Honorary Professor of Practical Theology at the Queen's Foundation for Ecumenical Theological Education, Birmingham, England.

Reviews

[Gianni Sambu · Rating 5 out of 5]

“Nel 1983 svanì ogni residua percezione della luce, e i dischi neri alla fine si presero tutto. Li avevo combattuti con coraggio, mi pareva, per trentasei anni, ma alla fine tutti gli sforzi si erano rivelati vani. È stato solo allora che ho cominciato a inabissarmi nelle profondità di quell’oceano, imparando alla fine a “toccare la roccia” che sta al fondo della disperazione.”

Spesso nel libro si parla di sentimenti così intensi e pervasivi da non poter essere spiegati a parole. È esattamente l’esperienza che questo libro offre.
