Opis

"It is difficult to speak of God, and dangerous to silence him to death. Try to put fire into words! Or try to smother it in you: it can cost you your life." I wrote that once years ago. Now, as a long-serving university teacher and after other occupations, I return to the "still unknown".In miniatures, formerly speeches to students, staff and senior citizens, this book circles around God, the "monstrous you" (M.L.Kaschnitz), and his traces between people. It also risks cheeky theological thoughts about God and the meaning of Christianity, with borrowings, for example, from Martin Buber and even more so from the unfortunately unknown Etty Hillsum. More and more the confrontation with violence and God's different power, the Spirit, has become the focus of attention.These are tactile attempts of a Christian who has grown old and continues to try "to have a relationship with God. I hope that they can also tell others who are not finished with God, neither in a way that they know about Him, nor in a way that they get rid of Him. This book has been translated with Artificial Intelligence.
