Lionel Blue Livres

Lionel Blue is one of those paradoxes: Britain's most famous Rabbi and a household name, his Jewish wit and quirky spirituality never fail to entertain. Yet he has lived a life on the fringes. A Rabbi who has remained true to his tradition, he has also found a home in Christianity. A man who has struggled with his sexuality, he has learnt slowly and painfully that spirituality and sexuality are inextricably entwined. Lionel Blue has never tried to escape the contradictions of a life lived honestly, and he has remained open to exploration and challenge. This all makes for an autobiography of immense richness.

Learning from problems posed by his audiences and his listeners, this work attempts to map out how we can fit common honesty and higher truths together. Focussing on issues that are much simpler than issues in Churches or Synagogues, it is also a consumer's guide to religion.

Autobiografie známého britského rabína (* 1930), spisovatele a proslulého tvůrce pořadů pro BBC. Se značnou dávkou anglického i židovského humoru líčí pokusy o obnovu zničeného světa tradičních náboženství, především židovství a křesťanství. Lehkostí stylu připomíná G. K. Chestertona a R. Fulghuma a stejně jako oni se nevyhýbá tématům jako je sexualita nebo zneužívání moci. To vše doplňuje jeho silná a přesně mířená sebeironie.
