Synopsis

Awake to God attempts to bring together the different themes of self emptying and participation which postmodern theologians have brought back into the conversation about God. It relates these themes to the Christian tradition and combines then with the insights of some of the great thinkers of the past-Meister Eckhart, Julian of Norwich, Thomas Traherne, Etty Hillesum and Paul Celan-in order to suggest a style of being and seeing for the contemporary Christian. . . . An answer to the question 'How can I be a Christian?'
