Dopo anni passati a sfidare il cielo con il veleno del dubbio e larroganza delliconoclasta, Giovanni Papini depone le armi della polemica per inginocchiarsi davanti allunica figura capace di dare un senso al caos del mondo: Gesu di Nazareth.Scritta con una prosa fiammeggiante, quasi brutale nella sua schiettezza, questopera non e una biografia accademica ne un pio esercizio devozionale. È un corpo a corpo con il Vangelo. Papini non racconta Cristo: lo invoca, lo difende, lo scaglia contro la mediocrita di unepoca che ha dimenticato lamore per farsi schiava delloro e del sangue.Dalla mangiatoia di Betlemme al grido del Golgota, ogni pagina vibra di una passione ritrovata. Papini spoglia la narrazione cristiana dalle incrostazioni del sentimentalismo, restituendoci un Cristo vivo, esigente, "terribile" nella sua misericordia.Ho scritto questo libro per pagare una parte del mio debito verso Colui che, dopo avermi lasciato errare per molti anni, mi ha finalmente riafferrato.Un classico del Novecento che continua a interrogare credenti e cercatori, ricordandoci che la storia di Cristo non e un reperto del passato, ma leterno presente di ogni anima.

Spatestens seit dem russischen Uberfall auf die Ukraine fordern viele, die fruher den Ideen der Friedensbewegung anhingen, jetzt mit Nachdruck militarisches Engagement. Pazifisten spielen im offentlichen Diskurs keine Rolle mehr. Der Autor fragt, wie auch unter heutigen Bedingungen friedensorientierte Gesichtspunkte noch in praktische Politik einflieen konnen. Die so gefundene Position nennt er pazifistische Option. Diese wird als Denkalternative zur Position der militarischen Option angeboten, die glaubt, nur mit militarischer Starke einem aggressiv auftretenden Russland entgegentreten zu mussen. Gezeigt wird, wie sich unsere Gesellschaft unter der Herrschaft dieses Denkens verandert, wie sich Diskurse verengen und das neue Freund-Feind-Denken eher in einen Krieg hineinfuhrt, als dass es ihn verhindert. Dass neben weiteren Grunden die Osterweiterung der NATO, die ohne Rucksichtnahme auf russische Befindlichkeiten durchgesetzt wurde, in der Kausalkette zum Uberfall auf die Ukraine beigetragen haben durfte, wird in unseren Leitmedien als Putins Narrativ abgetan oder im politischen Diskurs tabuisiert. Pazifistische Positionen lehnen derartige unzulassige Vereinfachungen ab. Nur uber eine Abkehr vom einseitigen Gut- und Bose-Schema, uber eine Bereitschaft, auch eigenes Versagen einzugestehen, eroffnen sich neue Wege zu einem Frieden, der diesen Namen verdient.

He does not belong to the institution that sends for him. But he understands its structures, its language, and the precise way it avoids naming what it cannot control.When he is asked to examine a case in a Roman parishroutine, on paperhe finds instead a pattern: something measured, something maintained, something that has been allowed to continue because no one has found a way to stop it.The problem is not possession.
