Adam was a severely handicapped young man at the L’Arche Daybreak Community. He could not speak, or even move without assistance. In the eyes of the world he was a complete nobody. And yet for Henri Nouwen he became a friend, teacher and guide. It was Adam who led Nouwen to new insights into his Christian faith and what it means to be beloved by God. In Adam: God’s Beloved Nouwen has found a new way to tell God’s story and the story of all human creatures, broken and yet beloved, who live in a world charged and alive with the Incarnation. He found that by reflecting on the story of Adam he discovered a way of describing his own understanding of the Gospel message. This story is Nouwen’s final, precious gift to his readers. Completed only weeks before his own death, Nouwen has left a fitting reflection of his own essential message and legacy. Henri J. M. Nouwen, a Dutch priest, was a pastor of the L’Arche Daybreak Community in Toronto, Canada and one of the most popular and honored spiritual writers of our time. |
