Hans Ester en Chris van der Merwe het albei lang loopbaan as letterkundiges agter die rug, die een in Suid-Afrika, die ander in Nederland. Albei is ook toegewyde Christene. In 2013 begin hierdie twee vriende aan mekaar skryf oor lewensvrae wat voortspruit uit hul gedeelde hartstog vir die Bybel en die letterkunde. Aktuele temas kom aan bod, soos "Tussen wanhoop en hoop", "Om Isak te offer" en "Bybel, diskussie, lees en herlees". Geen tema word egter uitgeput nie; die tweegesprek prikkel die leser tot verdere nadenke.

In a day in which Christians too often reduce faith to mere sentimentality and atheists decry it as superstitious nonsense, Fr. Kerry Walters offers a series of reflections intended to show that, indeed, faith matters. Drawn from his popular weekly newspaper column “Faith Matters,” these short meditations explore Christian faith from the perspectives of doctrine, spirituality, ethics, politics, art and science, the saints, and the holy seasons that mark the Christian year and set the rhythm of Christian living. --

How can Christianity touch the imagination of our contemporaries when ever fewer people in the West identify as religious? Timothy Radcliffe argues we must show how everything we believe is an invitation to live fully. God says: 'I put before you life and death: choose life'. Anyone who understands the beauty and messiness of human life--novelists, poets, filmmakers and so on--can be our allies, whether they believe or not. The challenge is not today's secularism but its banality. We accompany the disciples as they struggle to understand this strange man who heals, casts out demons and offers endless forgiveness. In the face of death, he teaches them what it means to be alive in God. Then he embraces all that afflicts and crushes humanity. Finally, Radcliffe explores what it means for us to be alive spiritually, physically, sacramentally, justly and prayerfully. The result is a compelling new understanding of the words of Jesus: "I came that they may have life and have it abundantly." --
