Eric Metaxas Knihy

Dietrich Bonhoeffer bol nemecký kazateľ, teológ a odporca nacizmu. Jeho knihy o nasledovaní Krista, o cirkvi a zodpovednosti kresťanov vo svete majú dodnes obrovský vplyv. Bonhoeffer sa zapojil do snáh o odstránenie Hitlera, ale Gestapo ho zatklo a 9. apríla 1945 popravilo. Eric Metaxas v obsiahlom životopise sleduje všetky roviny Bonhoefferovho života a rozpráva dramatický príbeh ohromnej morálnej odvahy tvárou v tvár monštruóznemu zlu. Autor naštudoval veľa pôvodných zdrojov, aby nám predstavil obdivuhodnú celistvosť Bonhoefferovej teológie, jeho politických postojov a občianskych činov.

Prečo toľko ľudí verí v zázraky? Čo o nás prezrádzajú? Čo máme robiť so zážitkami, ktoré nevieme vysvetliť? Autor uvádza presvedčivé, niekedy priam úchvatné dôkazy o tom, že tieto udalosti majú reálny základ – bez ohľadu na to, čo sme si o nich doteraz mysleli. Zároveň predstavuje premyslenú odpoveď na knihy tzv. nových ateistov, ktorí vášnivo trvali nielen na tom, že zázraky a nadprirodzené javy sú nemožné, ale aj na tom, že viera v nej je vyslovene škodlivá. Eric Metaxas, ktorého spravodajská televízia ABC News nazvala "duchaplný posol viery", spracoval tému rozvážne a so širokým záberom – od serióznej diskusie o zlučiteľnosti viery a vedy až po ohromujúce, no dobre zdokumentované príbehy o skutočných zázrakoch, ktoré sa prihodili ľuďom, ktorých pozná. Kniha Zázraky je založená na rozprávaniach ľudí. Podmanivým spôsobom tvrdí, že zázraky sú nielen možné, ale stávajú sa oveľa častejšie, než si väčšina z nás predstavuje.
