| book description |
From award-winning authors and Yale Divinity School colleagues Christian Wiman and Miroslav Volf--two world-renowned scholars exchange letters on the problems of faith today and the presence of divine love that persists through it all. Whether you're searching for something to believe in or no longer feel at home in your faith tradition of origin, the spiritual search can be deeply lonely.? Glimmerings brings the high-voltage tensions of faith as felt by many into the realm of relationship, where our hope might be bolstered in community with kindred minds. This vivid interpersonal offering brings together one of the world's leading Christian theologians, Miroslav Volf, with one of the most celebrated voices in modern American poetry, Christian Wiman, in this private-now-public exchange of letters on these very pressing tensions of our time. As close friends and Yale colleagues, their letters reveal visions of faith that are sometimes sharply divergent, yet always honest, modeling warmth, humor, disagreement and apology along the way. As the authors contend, certainty can never be ours. But perhaps God shows himself in ""glimmerings,"" and as we companion each other on the search, we can take heart in being seen for who we are and held by a great and mysterious love. Candid, consoling, and ever-absorbing, Wiman and Volf's exchange creates a world where questions are dignified by a fair hearing, where the spiritual search in all its complexities is honored, where glimmerings might be found.
