Author Description

Another reissue from Tarcher/Putnam of one of noted theologian Matthew Fox's classic works, "Wrestling with the Prophets" is perhaps even more timely today than when originally written. From the "post-denominational" priest silenced by the Vatican and dismissed by the Dominican Order for his controversial views, here are profound and hard-hitting essays on such varied topics as AIDS, homosexuality, spiritual feminism, environmental revolution, and Christian mysticism. Engaging in a lively mythical debate with some of history's greatest mystics, philosophers, and prophets, Fox speaks out for a spiritual awakening and a movement from traditional authoritarian religion toward an authentic connection with the Divine.
