Description for From the Underground Church to Freedom
Review 'An underground Catholic priest and member of the Czech resistance, Halik was important in bringing down the communist regime in that country . . . one has to admire his great courage and contribution to the end of totalitarianism in his country.' (Law and Religion Forum)'I need to tell you that your autobiography has hit our church like a storm. I do hope you know how deeply powerful your life story is. I am seeing day by day and hour by hour the impact it is having.' (Rev. David Rowe, Greenfield Hill Congregational Church, Fairfield, Connecticut)'This is a remarkable book. But then Tom� Hal�k is a remarkable man. From the Underground Church to Freedom is engagingly written and articulate; it is the story of an apostle very much of our time. People of all convictions today will understand where he is coming from, even those who end up very far away from him.' (Charles Taylor, author of A Secular Age)'It is possible that Hal�k is the most thoughtful, learned and interesting Catholic that is widely unknown in the United States today. Hopefully, this book will right that wrong.' (America)'With eloquent sensitivity, Tom� Hal�k, a clandestinely ordained Roman Catholic priest, pulls back the Iron Curtain to illuminate a dark period of Czechoslovakian history. From the Underground Church to Freedom is a memoir enfolded with spiritual wisdom, incisive and frank in its assessment of Hal�k�s life and of the continuing narrative of the church universal as she has moved into the twenty-first century. . . . Poignant and profound, this book is a needed reminder that hope springs eternal even in the face of overwhelming evil.' (Foreword Reviews)�In this warm, reflective, and ultimately uplifting book, Tom� Hal�k, with deep wisdom and a light touch, weaves the story of his life, his spiritual journey, and the emergence of the modern Czech Republic into a compelling narrative. Turner�s translation admirably captures Fr. Hal�k�s rare combination of gentleness and steel.� (Louise Richardson, vice-chancellor of Oxford University)'Tom� Hal�k has been a prolific writer of theology, political commentary and analysis, and spiritual advice for more than thirty years, and he was of considerable importance in shaping the transition of the Czech Church after 1989; in addition, he was among John Paul II's close associates. His book is vivid, entertaining, and has a compelling storyline. From the Underground Church to Freedom will find a wide readership.' (Paul J. Griffiths, author of Christian Flesh)'Tom� Hal�k�s From the Underground Church to Freedom is one of the most fascinating books of a thoughtful reflecting witness of our times. He tells his experience of the troubled history since the second half of the last century seen through the eyes of a Czech priest and internationally renowned philosopher and theologian. It is a journey of experimental questioning and ongoing dialogue with many well-known witnesses of our times, a journey through all the darkness of the Marxist epoch, the hopes during the spring of Prague that turned to winter, the new Exodus with great expectations but also challenges and temptations during and after the Second Vatican Council, the collapse of Communism, and the blasts of wind and storms in our globalized world and within the present Church itself. This moving remembrance ends with an almost mystical outlook and journey to eternal silence. A book of rich life experience, wise discernment of the signs of the times, and hopeful outlook out of faith.' (Cardinal Walter Kasper, president emeritus of the Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity) Read more About the Author Tom� Hal�k is a Czech Roman Catholic priest, philosopher, theologian, and scholar.
