The Drama of Living
David F FordPaperback 2014-09-01
Publisher Description
In this long awaited follow-on volume to his Archbishop of Canterbury's Lent book, The Shape of Living, the renowned theologian David Ford explores how we can live wisely - not poring earnestly over difficult choices, but in the presence of Holy Wisdom - 'God's darling and delight, playing in his presence and over the whole world'. Such wisdom fires our hearts and imaginations, as well as our intellects, and enables us to live fully open to God, to others, and to life's complexities, in freedom and joy. Playfulness is something many of us leave behind in youth, yet it is a primary characteristic of the kingdom of God - the joy of play pervades creation and should pervade our lives. Drawing on scripture and the poetry of Micheal O'Siadhail, David Ford enable us to recover a lost dimension in our Christian living.
