520 1 $a"Two Christian thinkers - philosopher Simone Weil and theologian Gustavo Gutierrez - are brought together here. While very different in background, situation, and in their writings, Weil and Gutierrez display striking points of contact in their lives and work. Author Alexander Nava finds that together the two provide a philosophical and theological vision that integrates the mystical and the prophetic, two dimensions of the Christian tradition that are often considered mutually exclusive.
520 8 $aExploring the thought of Weil and Gutierrez, this book shows that both are suspicious of forms of mysticism that minimize the harsh reality of suffering and violence, and that both have a serious mistrust of prophetic traditions that deny the contributions of mystical interpretations, practices, and ways of speaking to and about the Divine mystery.
520 8 $aNava proposes that dialogue between the thought of Weil and Gutierrez and between the mystical and prophetic traditions can lead to a more authentic understanding of the diversity and creativity of religious thought."--BOOK JACKET.
