About This Item
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.
