The Assurance of Hope: An Anthology

Editat de Christopher Howse
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 12 noi 2006
Christopher Howse opens his inspiring new collection with a brilliant introduction in which he examines the origin of the word comfort and shows how its meaning has been devalued in common usage.  Comfort is a rich concept and should not be taken as a simple thing. It is sometimes at its most stirring when the outlook is black, as this book bears testament.
  The book contains over eighty extracts, in prose and verse, from a wide variety of spiritual writers of a Christian background who have won a place in the English-speaking tradition, including Augustine, Christina Rossetti, John Donne, Oscar Wilde, C.S. Lewis, Hilaire Belloc and Emily Dickinson to name but a few.

Recenzii

'an excellent book to have beside you as you bask in the glow of a good hike in 2007...a collection reflecting a constant appetite for hope and the strong hand of religion among thinking, feeling people down the ages.' ~ John Hinton, Catholic Times, February 2007
