"Passions of the Soul" by Rowan Williams is a slim and inspiring book based on retreat talks delivered to Anglican Benedictine nuns. The author explores the Eight Beatitudes of Jesus as counter proposals to the traditional Seven Deadly Sins, emphasizing the importance of dealing with human passions in a way that leads to a life lived in freedom and knowledge of God. Williams suggests reimagining the Beatitudes to address destructive human desires and encourages living with courage, trust in God's mercy, and consideration for others. The book also touches on the history of Christianity and the ongoing tension between individual holiness, freedom of conscience, and church authority. [Extracted from the article] |
