Voices of Christ (el. knyga) (skaityta knyga) | Leo Tolstoy | knygos.lt

Aprašymas

Among all the noise, strife, debates, and politics of the last two millennia, the message of Christ has persisted through those who live it. This message is not a doctrine or a secret teaching, but a loving, engaged way of being which Jesus taught plainly and directly. Within this anthology, five authors describe what it means to them to be living this message in their life and time. The authors are:

• Leo Tolstoy, the famed late 19th century nihilist who converted late in his life;
• J.C. Kumarappa, who struggled for Indian independence with Gandhi, and was known as "Gandhi's economist";
• Bayard Rustin, who brought nonviolence and Martin Luther King, Jr., into the American Civil Rights Movement;
• Hugh Hollowell, who founded a parish for the impoverished in Raleigh, North Carolina; and
• Magdelene Harrison, a prominent young Quaker scholar who rediscovered the Quaker symbol of "going naked as a signe".
