More About This Book

Overview

Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams often says that, no matter what, the proper stance of the Christian in the world is one of gratitude. In this book, Sister Joan Chittister, OSB, and Archbishop Rowan Williams offer us a sweeping set of things and circumstances to be grateful for—things for which we can sing “alleluia,” “praise and thanks be to God.”

Some are things we naturally feel grateful for: God, peace, wealth, life, faith, and unity. But when these are set alongside other things we would never think to sing alleluia about–death, divisions, sufferings, and even sinners—we begin to see, as Joan Chittister says in her introduction, that “Life itself is an exercise in learning to sing ‘alleluia’ here in order to recognize the face of God hidden in the recesses of time. To deal with the meaning of ‘alleluia’ in life means to deal with moments that do not feel like 'alleluia moments' at all.”

In this series of reflections it becomes clear that singing “alleluia” is not a way to escape reality but receptivity to another kind of reality beyond the immediate and the delusional, of helping us understand what is now and what is to come.

Editorial Reviews

Publishers Weekly
The prolific Benedictine nun Chittister (The Liturgical Year) joins the erudite archbishop of Canterbury in a series of reflections on finding the hidden face of God in a variety of circumstances and offering praise. “Alleluia” is a hail to God, a call offered not nearly as frequently as complaint is in these times. But Chittister explains that alleluia is “a call to reflection... the final Amen to all that is.” The varied subjects of the 23 essays—faith, doubt, Genesis, saints—are very loosely grouped, and Williams contributes only five, a shortcoming of the book given the provocative originality with which the Anglican primate thinks. He writes of “good sinners”—those with a degree of awareness of something much larger or of “divine fullness preparing to create its own echo” in the world. Chittister is pre-eminently practical: the purpose of wealth is generosity, doubt gives birth to faith. The two authors are nicely complementary in the ways they anchor their insights in real-life conditions. This is thoughtful theology with its boots on, ready to walk out in the world. (Mar.)

    In a stale world of self gratification - this book is breath of fresh air

    The authors have created a book that answers all your questions about God. I am 62 years old and this little book was created just for me. It is a compilation of my life learning. If young people would take to heart these explanations - life as we know it would change. All people would LOVE and think of the other person before their own needs with a resounding ALLELUIA for all that is or has been or will be.
