Our Sound is Our Wound: Contemplative Listening to a Noisy World -- The Archbishop of Canterbury's Lent Book 2010

Autor The Revd Lucy Winkett
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 3 dec 2009
How do we listen for the voice of God within the soundscapes of our lives and how do we find our own voice? Our lives are lived against the backdrop of an internal and external soundscape. The sounds, noises and music with which we are surrounded in modern life have spiritual implications. There is also a soundtrack within us that plays constantly through memory, dreams, anxiety or thought. What are these soundscapes, and how do we listen for the voice of God within them. How too do we find our own voice? These questions bring together the previous academic interest (history and sociology) and the present, practical life (public ritual, music, and public speaking) of an author who is sensitive to the cadences of modern life, and reflects on this through the prism of Scripture and the tradition

Recenzii

"A persistent and perceptive commentary." The Catholic Herald, December 2009.
"Winkett's theological reflections are complex and sophisticated...She is informative and wise...Each chapter bears a second and third read." The Sign, February 2010.
"Our Sound is Our Wound is a remarkable book... so full of insights that it is almost over­flow­ing with ideas." Church Times, January 2010.
"The sounds of the modern city match, [Winkett] thinks, the dominant modern feeling of anxiety and fear- principally fear of death. In opposition, she presents the liberating forces of justice and beauty." Christopher Howse, The Daily Telegraph, February 2010.
"Lively, stimulating and challenging" Jane Hedges, The Times, February 2010.
"Lucy Winkett has an easy, anecdotal style which is both allusive and informative, allowing the reader to set off on their own reflective journeys." The Good Bookstall. Read the full review at http://www.thegoodbookstall.org.uk/review/9780826439215/lucy-winkett/our-sound-is-our-wound/

'This profoundly rich book skilfully weaves interpretations of scripture into Winkett's reflections on the theme of sound and listening, and her own personal stories.'
'A thoughtful, evocative book that was well chosen as the Archbishop of Canterbury's Lenten book for 2010... This is a book to be enjoyed.'
