Overview
In our chaotic world, people from all walks of life hunger for a sense of direction and purpose. This is especially true for lay and religious Christians seeking resources to live with faith and work for social justice. But too often, Christians lose sight of the treasures we inherit from scripture and tradition. In Can Religious Life Be Prophetic?, Michael Crosby, a Franciscan priest and authoritative voice in Catholic renewal, helps us rediscover the abundant gifts of Christianity. By making the great prophetic voices of scripture come alive he shows us how we can renew our spiritual lives, invigorate our communities, and revitalize the church as a whole.
Synopsis
This bold and visionary new book calls monks, priests and nuns to rediscover their heritage as prophetic witnesses. Challenging the watered-down sense of prophecy in the present day, he ignites us to return to the scriptures as the center of religious life. Only prophetic life grounded in Jesus Christ can nourish and give direction to attempts at social change and reformation.
