HEIDI
HADSELL
 Since
I first read Hannah Arendt's The Human Condition in
graduate school, it has helped me to think about the role and
tasks of the political arena in human social life. This book also
has helped me to think about the relationship between the ethical
and the political. It is a book that may be enjoyed simply for the
clarity and beauty with which it is written. When I was at Union
Theological Seminary, I took a course with Rubem Alves, a
Brazilian theologian, right after he had finished his book, A
Theology of Human Hope. The combination of the course and then
the book were powerful for me and taught me essential things I
have never forgotten about, for example, the relationships between
ideology and theology and both the power and limitations of the
Protestant imagination. Recently I enjoyed Jayber Crow by
Wendell Berry, a simple story, a novel, that is at the same time
both entertaining and profound. A major theme of the book is human
community. |
