Beschreibung
A Nazareth Manifesto is an eloquent and impassioned ecumenical proposal for re-envisioning Christianity's approach to social engagement away from working "for" the people to being "with" them. * Questions the effectiveness of the current trend of intervention as a means of fixing the problems of people in distressed and disadvantaged circumstances * Argues that Jesus spent 90% of his life simply being among the people of Nazareth, sharing their hopes and struggles, therefore Christians should place a similar emphasis on being alongside people in need rather than hastening to impose solutions * Written by a respected priest and broadcaster and renowned Christian ethicist and preacher * Supported by historical, contemporary, exegetical and anecdotal illustrations
Rezensionen
"It is academic and intelligent while being accessible. It is, at the same time, highly original, and devotional and inspiring."
At the interface of critical academic reflection and faithful church theology, we have no better voice than that of Sam Wells. He invites us to rethink, from the ground up, our abiding temptation to condescending "help and service" to others. He compellingly renders a more excellent way toward the transformative "with."
This is a well documented book which reveals how the essential of the message of Jesus helps us all to construct a more human society, based on true and faithful relationships. Not doing for but being with. Samuel Walls with his academic skills and his pastoral heart shows us how confused personalities can become human when there is a true and faithful relationship. Being with is healing. This is a book that should be read by many. Jean Vanier
