Product Description
For all the debate about belief and nonbelief in today’s world—and how everyone becomes pigeonholed by one or the other—Tomas Halik teaches us that God requires us to persevere with our doubts, carry it in our hearts, and allow it to lead us to maturity. For Halik, patience is the main difference between faith and atheism. Faith, hope, and love are three aspects of patience in the face of God’s silence, which atheists interpret as “the death of God” and it is not taken seriously enough by fundamentalism or the enthusiasm of “facile belief.”
Using the gospel story of Jesus’ encounter with Zacchaeus, Halik issues an invitation to all people who stand (like Zacchaeus did) on the sideline—curious but noncommittal. The fact that Jesus gravitated to the poor and the marginalized means and that he also has a special place in his heart for diligent seekers on the margins of the community of believers.
A lively discussion of faith, PATIENCE WITH GOD will appeal to readers of The Holy Longing and The Wounded Healer.
