I learned that one of my favorite spiritual authors has died. I confess it took me a few years to digest his outstanding book Jesus of Nazareth (reviewed here).
This reminds me we live in such a rich time of spiritual thinking. When I wondered where to place this book when I finished it: in the spirituality section or with the tomes of dogmatic theology, I chose the former.
Others will follow in such footsteps, I am sure. But now I feel a sadness, though I never sat in the man’s classroom, and only read one book.
