Between the Monster and the Saint: Reflections on the Human Condition.
de Holloway, Richard
- Usado
- Tapa blanda
Melbourne: Text Publishing, 2009. Australian ed.. Paperback trade, very good condition, bottom corner front cover creased, fore-edge faintly foxed, pages lightly toned as usual, minor edgewear. 200 pp. Richard Holloway looks at the human condition, which can inflict cruelty on each other, but can also be capable of being tender, empathic, and to show warmth and feeling. He draws on a selection of writings from history, philosophy, anthropology, science, poetry, theology and literature, to show how humans can stand up to the seductive power of the monster and draw closer to the challenge of the saint. The prolific Scottish author is a former Bishop of Edinburgh and a former Professor of Divinity.

Text Publishing, Melbourne, 2008. Softcover. Very Good Condition. Provocative, wide-ranging and full of wisdom, Between the Monster and the Saint is a brilliant book about our place in the world. Being human isn't easy. We might think that consciousness and free will give us control over our lives but our minds are dangerous and unpredictable places. We are susceptible to forces we don't understand. We are capable of inflicting immense cruelty on one another - violence, torture and rape - and yet we also have the capacity to be tender, to empathise, to feel. In his thought-provoking new book Richard Holloway holds a mirror up to the human condition. 198 pages. Quantity Available: 1. Shipped Weight: Under 1 kilogram.
