Unapologetic de Francis Spufford

Unapologetic

Autor Francis Spufford
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 7 oct 2014

Remarcăm că Unapologetic nu începe cu demonstrații logice abstracte, ci cu o explorare a stărilor emoționale fundamentale care fac credința recognoscibilă în secolul XXI. Francis Spufford propune o apărare a creștinismului care nu se bazează pe argumente științifice, ci pe o descriere onestă și „nemilos de realistă” a demnității experienței umane. Credem că forța acestui volum rezidă în capacitatea autorului de a recupera vocabularul sentimentelor umane în fața unui ateism tot mai literalist și intolerant. Deși Francis Spufford este cunoscut pentru romane de succes precum Light Perpetual sau Golden Hill, aici el își folosește talentul narativ pentru a construi o teză defensivă vibrantă, adresată celor sătui de tonul patronator al dezbaterilor contemporane despre religie. Cartea acoperă aceeași arie ca Mere Apologetics de Alister E. McGrath, dar cu o abordare mult mai puțin tehnică și mai mult axată pe imaginarul creștin și pe reziliența psihologică a credinței. Față de Telling a Better Story de Joshua D. Chatraw, care propune o metodă pedagogică de apologetică, Unapologetic este o mărturie personală și combativă, scrisă din perspectiva unui intelectual care înțelege ambele tabere ale baricadei.

De ce să citești această carte

Recomandăm această carte cititorilor care caută o perspectivă asupra credinței ce nu ignoră complexitatea lumii moderne. Veți câștiga o înțelegere profundă a modului în care creștinismul poate fi trăit cu integritate intelectuală astăzi. Este o lectură esențială pentru cei care apreciază stilul lui C.S. Lewis, dar doresc un limbaj adaptat sensibilităților actuale, oferind un motiv concret pentru a privi dincolo de scepticismul pur raționalist.

Despre autor

Francis Spufford este un scriitor britanic polivalent, membru al Royal Society of Literature și fost câștigător al premiului Sunday Times Young Writer of the Year. Cariera sa impresionantă include lucrări de non-ficțiune premiate, precum I May Be Some Time (premiul Somerset Maugham), și romane de mare succes precum Golden Hill și Light Perpetual, acesta din urmă fiind nominalizat pe lista lungă la Booker Prize în 2021. Deși s-a remarcat prin explorarea istoriei tehnologiei și a ficțiunii istorice, în Unapologetic autorul își folosește experiența de fost ateu pentru a articula o apărare modernă a valorilor creștine.

Descriere scurtă

Francis Spufford's Unapologetic is a wonderfully pugnacious defense of Christianity. Refuting critics such as Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris, and the "new atheist" crowd, Spufford, a former atheist and Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature, argues that Christianity is recognizable, drawing on the deep and deeply ordinary vocabulary of human feeling, satisfying those who believe in it by offering a ruthlessly realistic account of the grown-up dignity of Christian experience.
Fans of C. S. Lewis, N. T. Wright, Marilynne Robinson, Mary Karr, Diana Butler Bass, Rob Bell, and James Martin will appreciate Spufford's crisp, lively, and abashedly defiant thesis.
Unapologetic is a book for believers who are fed up with being patronized, for non-believers curious about how faith can possibly work in the twenty-first century, and for anyone who feels there is something indefinably wrong, literalistic, anti-imaginative and intolerant about the way the atheist case is now being made.

Textul de pe ultima copertă

First published in the United Kingdom to great acclaim, Unapologetic is a wonderfully pugnacious defense of Christianity. But it isn't an argument that Christianity is true—because how could anyone know that (or indeed its opposite)? It's an argument that Christianity is recognizable, drawing on the deep and deeply ordinary vocabulary of human feeling, satisfying those who believe in it by offering a ruthlessly realistic account of the grown-up dignity of Christian experience.
Unhampered by niceness, this is a book for believers who are fed up with being patronized, for non-believers curious about how faith can possibly work in the twenty-first century, and for anyone who feels there is something indefinably wrong, literalistic, anti-imaginative, and intolerant about the way the atheist case is now being made.

Recenzii

“Mr. Spufford is an amused and amusing observer of human beings, and it is a pleasure to be in his company.” — Dwight Garner, The New York Times
“Francis Spufford is one of the cleverest and most thoughtful nonfiction writers in England.…Unapologetic is exactly what those who’ve followed Spufford’s career might have suspected it would be: an incredibly smart, challenging, and beautiful book, humming with ideas and arguments.” — Nick Hornby
“A remarkable book, which is passionate, challenging, tumultuously articulate, and armed with anger to a degree unusual in works of Christian piety.” — Sunday Times (London)
“The man writes like a dream.” — The Guardian
“A subtle, witty, clever writer.” — The Observer
“This is a wonderful, effortlessly brilliant book.” — Evening Standard (London)
“The point...is to show those on the fence that belief need not mean the abandonment of intelligence, wit, emotional honesty. In this, Francis Spufford succeeds to an exceptional degree.” — London Times Literary Supplement
“Catnip for atheists, agnostics, believers, disbelievers and people who like to think and wonder.” — Chicago Tribune
“Spufford’s defense of Christianity is as unique as it is refreshing.…With unrelenting passion and honesty throughout, this book successfully accomplishes what it sets out to achieve—namely, making the case for the intelligibility and dignity of Christian faith.” — Booklist
“Fresh, lively, provocative, insightful, articulate, witty, scabrous, honest, shocking, profane, Christian.” — James Martin, S.J., author of The Jesuit Guide to (Almost) Everything
“A unique book, cutting its way ruthlessly through thickets of both religious and anti-religious sentimentality; painfully funny at points, always impassioned and never glib.” — Rowan Williams, Master's Secretary, Magdalene College, Cambridge University and former Archbishop of Canterbury
“Flat-out exhilarating.…Read this book and you will discover a faith that is brash, poignant, sensual, funny—but above all, profoundly, joyfully human.” — Diana Butler Bass, author of Christianity After Religion
“Compelling....Spufford’s argument occassions the much needed reevaluation of how integral emotions are to being human and why common sense ought not be dismissed. This is a compelling argument not only for its content but also because it has been written so beautifully.” — Stanley Hauerwas Duke University, author of A Community of Character: Toward a Constructive Christian Social Ethic
“Spufford exhibits his trademark brilliance, humor, and acumen, demolishing the intellectual emptiness of the New Atheism along the way. Richly rewarding to mind and heart, and a fine example of one of the era’s best writers at full tilt. ” — Library Journal
“Spufford is one of the most gifted English writers of his generation…Unapologetic captures the texture of today’s life of faith, faith always ever-so-slightly but also ever-so-constantly eaten away at by uncertainty, by the possibility of a truly disenchanted world, a wholly material life.” — Books & Culture
