A provocative meditation on the role of silence in Christian
tradition by the "New York Times" bestselling author of
Christianity
We live in a world dominated by noise. Religion is, for many, a
haven from the clamor of everyday life, allowing us to pause for
silent contemplation. But as Diarmaid MacCulloch shows, there are
many forms of religious silence, from contemplation and prayer to
repression and evasion. In his latest work, MacCulloch considers
Jesus's strategic use of silence in his confrontation with Pontius
Pilate and traces the impact of the first mystics in Syria on
monastic tradition. He discusses the complicated fate of silence in
Protestant and evangelical tradition and confronts the more
sinister institutional forms of silence. A groundbreaking book by
one of our greatest historians, "Silence "challenges our
fundamental views of spirituality and illuminates the deepest
mysteries of faith.
