Peter Giersch: Talking of Michelangelo, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

In Talking of Michelangelo, Peter A. Giersch offers a bracingly honest spiritual memoir. What begins as a weeklong retreat in a Burgundian monastery becomes a deep and sometimes harrowing journey through faith, art, and the human heart. Confronted by silence and solitude, Giersch experiences his own "dark night of the soul," wrestling with belief, mortality, and the mysteries of God.

Written with the searching candor of a modern pilgrim and the literary grace of a poet, Talking of Michelangelo blends cultural reflection with spiritual confession. From T. S. Eliot's "Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock," to the echoes of the Four Last Things--death, judgment, Heaven, and Hell--Giersch illuminates how beauty, doubt, and grace intertwine in the life of every believer.

At once witty and profound, contemporary yet timeless, this is a book for all who have ever longed for faith to feel real again--and who have discovered that God sometimes speaks loudest in the silence of the soul.
