Gottes Schweigen
Auferweckungssehnsucht und Skepsis
by Magnus Striet
Easter consolidates the story of God with human beings, at the end of which we wish for everyone what the Christian faith in Jesus Christ asserts has already been fulfilled: triumph over death and a life in the boundless, saving and reconciling presence of God. But in light of incomprehensible suffering and oppressive experiences of meaninglessness, is this still believable? Or are such statements not merely spiritual smokescreens intended to superficially beautify the world? Magnus Striet demonstrates that doubt is a fundamental aspect of belief in God, in his actions through Jesus Christ and in his unqualified yes to the world. From that premise he develops groundbreaking and fruitful perspectives for a new Easter love of life.
Dr. Magnus Striet, born in 1964, is a professor of fundamental theology at the University of Freiburg im Breisgau, Germany.
