Kämpfen und Lieben

by Anselm Grün

It's a very interesting book about how to be man: about essential features of masculinity (love, tenderness, capacity for "struggling")... The author gives us some biblical references: Adam, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Simson, etc.... Why? Because, sometimes, we (men) are "lost" in some way...
I don't know any translation in English.

About the author

Anselm Grün terminated his school years in 1964 with the A-level equivalent Abitur at the grammar school in Würzburg, Germany. In the same year he began as a novice at the nearby Benedictine Münsterschwarzach Abbey. From 1965 to 1971 he studied philosophy and theology at St. Ottilien Archabbey and in Rome. In 1974 he completed his PhD in theology on Karl Rahner. From 1974 to 1976 Anselm Grün studied Business in Nuremberg. Then he became the Cellerar of Münsterschwarzach Abbey and is thus responsible for the economic administration of the abbey with its over 280 employees and 20 businesses.

[Jan · Rating 3 out of 5]

Dubbele gevoelens.Soms wat ver gezocht,wat sjabloonachtig.De archetypen die Grün zoekt en vindt in oudtestamentische mannenfiguren zijn naar mijn idee vaak verwisselbaar. desondanks zet het boek je regelmatig aan tot het denken over (mijn) het manzijn. En dat is heel wat.
