The Writer and the Cross
Spiritually engaged readers commonly look toward fiction to better understand the depth of a faithful life, and Christians are no exception. Many followers of Jesus value beautifully written, deftly characterized and pulse-quickening literary art that seems more satisfying than dry, tedious doctrinal textbooks. This book surveys 12 pieces of historical fiction that feature notable Christian thinkers. They include an illustrated children's book about St. Irenaeus of Lyons, a novel about Martin Luther's Reformation, a screenplay focusing on Dietrich Bonhoeffer and even a story about Pope Francis narrated in popular manga style. Rather than arcane literary analyses, this book provides thoughtful and sometimes painful interviews with the authors of the covered works. Most interviewees are little known or emerging writers. Some have published their work with a church or denominational press, others with a major publishing empire or popular print-on-demand platforms. Storytellers reflect on their literary choices and the contexts of their writing, sharing what modern Christians can learn from historical religious fiction.

En pensant aux miens
« Dans tous les cas, pour quiconque vient en mission ici, qu'il ne pense pas qu'il sera aimé, choyé, chouchouté, adoré et adulé comme au pays. Comme l'évêque, le prêtre est plus que monsieur Tout-le-monde. On le verbalise, on le toise, on lui crie dessus ouvertement et publiquement, on l'insulte, le bafoue, on le traduit en justice, pire, on le met en prison. [...] Le prêtre, ici, n'est pas l'épouvantail, quelqu'un qu'on craint et dont on a peur. Les gens viendront lui dire ce qu'ils pensent en "live", sans détour, sans aucune forme de procédure. » 2012 : B. Diané, prêtre ivoirien, est envoyé exercer sa mission au cœur de l'Europe, en Belgique. Cette mutation déclenchera u...
Érase una vez
Antología de las mejores columnas de David Trueba. David Trueba, además de novelista y cineasta, es periodista o, mejor dicho, sobre todo es periodista. Desde 1995 colabora con distintos medios de comunicación, como El Mundo, El Periódico o El País, firmando columnas que combinan inteligencia, lucidez y humor, y que son el mejor ejemplo de una manera personal y única de enfrentarse al mundo. Herederos de una ilustre tradición que pasa por Azcona o Fernán Gómez, los textos de David Trueba demuestran que en ocasiones el periódico de ayer puede ser tan nutritivo como el bocadillo que está destinado a envolver.
Wounded Shepherd
“Essential reading for historians of [Francis’s] papacy in years to come, from the New York Times–bestselling author of The Reformer and Let us Dream.” —The Tablet Austen Ivereigh’s colorful, clear-eyed portrait of Pope Francis takes us inside the Vatican’s urgent debate over the future of the church in Wounded Shepherd This deeply contextual biography centers on the tensions generated by the pope’s attempt to turn the Church away from power and tradition and outwards to engage humanity with God’s mercy. In turbulent meetings and on global trips, history’s first Latin-American pope has attempted to reshape the Church to evangelize the contemporary age. At the same time, h...
Il Vescovo di Roma
Francesco è un Papa nuovo per numerosi aspetti: la provenienza, il nome che ha scelto, le vesti e l’alloggio, la sobrietà, il linguaggio, le libertà che rivendica e riconosce. Nuovo per la continua invenzione di gesti di vicinanza ai feriti della vita, l’audacia di parlare con l’intenzione di arrivare a tutti, la precedenza che attribuisce alla predicazione del vangelo rispetto a ogni altro impegno. Nessun papa in epoca contemporanea aveva posto tanti segni di novità in così poco tempo. Con intenzione ecumenica e collegiale, Francesco si presenta innanzitutto come vescovo di Roma. Egli chiede che la misericordia – rivolta sia alle anime che ai corpi – abbia il primo posto nell...
