| Description: |
This book is a collection of essays in honour of South African theologian and author Albert Nolan OP, who died in October 2022 at the age of 88. Awarded the "Order of Luthuli in Silver" by then President Thabo Mbeki in 2003 for his "life-long dedication to the struggle for democracy, human rights and justice and for challenging the religious 'dogma' especially the theological justification for apartheid", Nolan inspired a generation of Christian activists and theologians.
The 70 contributions in this volume are all from people around the world who knew Nolan well and worked with him over the years. The contributions deal with his early family life, his contribution to student movements, his periods as Dominican Provincial in Southern Africa, his involvement with the ANC, his work as a writer and life in his later years.
'Albert told Mark James OP: "If people want to know who I was, what I believed and what I stood for, they can read my books." I would add "and meet my friends." So this is an unusual book since it contains pieces by Albert's former students and colleagues, his Dominican brothers and sisters, academics and activists, Catholics and Christians of other denominations. It is rare to have a collection of such different sorts of contributions, ranging from the highly personal to the academic. But this is what the People of God is like, a deeply and beautifully diverse community of pilgrims on the way to the Kingdom, conversing as we travel.' From the Foreword by Timothy Radcliffe OP. |
