Love Seems To Be Something Like That

Again and again in this collection, Andreas Thomas returns to this mysterious predicament: why is it that the human being seems to take such a perverse, if guilt-ridden, delight in actively shunning the good?

By sacrificing His own Son to the very human mystery of Death, God has reopened, in effect, the road to communication between the sacred and the profane
