... Che sei nei cieli. Commento biblico al Padre… por fr. John de Taizé

Commento biblico (molto) al Padre Nostro fatto frase per frase.
Alcuni passaggi forse un po' troppo eruditi, ma nel complesso traspare la spiritualità monastica. Bello e fonte di riflessioni

Continuing the Journey, Conversations Regarding the… por Brother John

My Great Uncle wrote this and the copy is currently ciruclating the family. Philosophy isn't really my things so I had some trouble grasping parts. The book was very well written and good source of vocab.

The tale is a story of touching emotions that is envolved in everyone's life, love, lost, and the desire to understand the world around us. The main character John loses the love his life, his wife, friend, and mother of his grown daughter Helen. To take a break of the haunting memories that fill his home John with his loyal friend, his dog takes a vacation to the beach. One day taking a walk with the loving creature he meets Sophia who helps John work out his feelings in addition to figuring out the bigger picture of humans and notion of the afterlife. Each page will have you challenging yourself to think to find the bigger picture.

Brother John creates characters that the readers will feel relatable to. the emotions in the book are true to any person whether they have experienced something that deep or not. The scenes are very vivid that the readers feel as if they are standing on the beach along the side of John on his journey of life.

If you are into theories about life and the after life this book is for you. Again there are no stars because it wasn't bad, but because I'm not quite sure how to rate the book of this genre.… (mais)

En broder från Taizé går igenom Herrens bön vers för vers och kommenterar dem på några sidor vardera. Kommentarerna uppehåller sig framför allt vid bibliska paralleller och motsvarande bruk i samtidens judiska kontext. Detta är absolut ingen brist - det finns andra verk som fokuserar på betydelsen och bruket av Herrens bön idag - utan ett val av perspektiv. Broder John hänvisar hela tiden till olika ställen i Bibeln som kan ge bönen perspektiv och hjälpa förståelsen av de olika verserna. Översättningen lämnar dock en del övrigt att önska.… (mais)
