| Résumé : |
The “signs of the times” today seem overwhelmingly to speak of death, not life. In such a world, the author says, the followers of Jesus must “make known and live the reality that the God of life chooses, with passionate love, to be alongside those who have been cast aside”. Drawing on his long experience with people, groups and communities who have been made poor, Kenith David explores five “visible signs of invisible grace”, which illustrate the binding together with God of those who are crushed by the powers and systems of society: life, land, community, name and identity, and the vision of “the new dawn”.
These, he says, are sacraments rediscovered in struggle — realities that enable the crushed and downtrodden to make sense of their pain and to strive towards fullness of life and the reign of God. |
