Zusammenfassung: | No writer or public intellectual of our era has been as sensitive to the role of faith in the lives of ordinary Americans as Robert Coles. Though not religious in the conventional sense, Coles is unparalleled in his astute understanding and respect for the relationship between secular life and sacredness, which cuts across his large body of work. Drawing inspiration from figures like Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Dorothy Day, and Simone Weil, his extensive writings explore the tug of war between faith and doubt. As Coles himself admits, the back-and-forthness between faith and doubt is the story of his life. These thirty-one thought-provoking essays are drawn from Coles's weekly column in the Catholic publication America. In them, he turns his inquisitive lens on a range of subjects and issues, from writers and painters to reading and film viewing, contemporary events and lingering controversies, recollections of past and present mentors, events of his own daily life, and ordinary encounters with students, patients, neighbors, and friends. Addressing moral questions openly and honestly with a combination of rectitude and authorial modesty, these essays position Coles as a preeminent, durable, and trusted voice in the national conversation over religion, civic life, and moral purpose. |

Though not religious in the conventional sense, Coles is unparalleled in his astute understanding and respect for the relationship between secular life and sacredness, which cuts across his large body of work. Drawing inspiration from figures like Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Dorothy Day, and Simone Weil, his extensive writings explore the tug of war between faith and doubt. As Coles himself admits, the back-and-forthness between faith and doubt is the story of his life. These thirty-one thought-provoking essays are drawn from Coles's weekly column in the Catholic publication America. In them, he turns his inquisitive lens on a range of subjects and issues, from writers and painters to reading and film viewing, contemporary events and lingering controversies, recollections of past and present mentors, events of his own daily life, and ordinary encounters with students, patients, neighbors, and friends. Addressing moral questions openly and honestly with a combination of rectitude and authorial modesty, these essays position Coles as a preeminent, durable, and trusted voice in the national conversation over religion, civic life, and moral purpose.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="505" ind1="0" ind2=" "><subfield code="a">November 23, 1996 : We're hoping for a few extra moments of the sacred during these long secular days -- January 4, 1997 : "The doctors, they be strutters - they need teaching" -- February 1, 1997 : Merton and Milosz find common ground in their skepticism - the distance they put between themselves and faddish trends -- February 15, 1997 : Like a Hebrew prophet, Erikson was insisting upon psychological investigation as a moral calling -- March 1, 1997 : "The Third Reich was a product of German history, but it was not the only possibility open to the country at that time" -- March 22, 1997 : Surely someone would come by, see me standing there helplessly, offer a phone or a lift -- April 5, 1997 : I was witness to the moral energy a painter or photographer can stir in children -- May 3, 1997 : There is hope in those sudden, unexpected, breakthrough experiences that bring us a blessed spell of inwardness -- May 31, 1997 : This double standard could all too readily be accommodated by the slippery imprecisions of psychiatric jargon -- July 19, 1997 : The doctor who is sick now turns his students into the kind of physician he himself has been with others -- August 2, 1997 : Through the use of fictional strategies, the writer offers us a clue about oppression -- September 13, 1997 : What appears to be bizarre and senseless is in many cases a quite reasonable expression of horror -- November 8, 1997 : "I'm really sorry, I never should have opened the door without looking - I was lost in thought, I wasn't thinking" -- December 6, 1997 : It was the old story of teachers who have a lot to learn from their humble, yet knowing, students -- January 17, 1998 : Dorothy Day spoke of the irony : "All that philosophical knowledge, and such a moral failure, such blindness - and worse - in a life" -- February 14, 1998 : In Othello we meet a man of great dignity and refinement who is gradually undone -- February 28, 1998 : Bonhoeffer's position in society, his personal safety, and, if need be, his very life were not to be defended at all costs -- March 21, 1998 : Psychotherapy, in all its American banality, is redeemed through its emphasis on the personal as part of the communal -- March 28, 1998 : I wondered if she really believed what she seemed to believe, whether she wasn't really quite frightened "underneath" -- April 25, 1998 : I could lecture on the moral and social inquiry and myself behave like a moral and social outcast -- July 4, 1998 : Once more I took note of the psychological acuity, the capacity to figure out others with a certain thoughtful detachment -- August 29, 1998 : This child knew that misdeeds deserve, warrant an expression of regret -- October 31, 1998 : Our insistent yearnings ought not to be the stuff of glib psychiatric pronouncements -- November 21, 1998 : These youngsters recognize that smart or powerful is not necessarily the same as good -- February 20, 1999 : "I wished he'd been as understanding and kindly at home with his family as he was in the world with all his associates" -- May 1, 1999 : A moral leadership that is to work must mobilize a following in the name of a virtue, it must both inspire and coerce -- July 31, 1999 : Many of us who took to Holden Caulfield, embracing his laid-back words, his wisecracks, his cool, also worried about him, would he make it? -- September 11, 1999 : William Carlos Williams treated many Catholics who said they would pray for him - he was skeptical about such promises -- October 9, 1999 : Private hurts trigger a public hurtfulness -- December 4, 1999 : Simone Weil tried to figure out morally who we humans are, what obligations we ought to feel and why, as we go about our permitted time on this planet -- February 19, 2000 : "Do you really think the pope prayed for those three mass murderers, Hitler, Stalin, Mussolini?"
