Resilience in a troubled world
Collection home page
Statistics
Resilience goes beyond mere resistance or endurance; it acts as a driving force
for change by utilizing discernment and transformation. It encompasses a
wide range of meanings in various fields, including biology, engineering,
business, and sports. However, it is precisely this multi-dimensional quality
that highlights the importance of a word that can be a valuable asset for
society, the Church, and theology as a whole.
This volume features the proceedings of a conference that sought to examine
the term “resilience” while proposing a fresh interpretation in reference to
three towering theological figures: Romano Guardini (1885–1968), Karl
Barth (1886–1968), and Thomas Merton (1915–1968) on the fiftieth
anniversary of their passing.
The conference endeavoured to examine the importance of integrating
resilience into theological discourse and reasoning. The presence of resilience
is crucial for individuals from different backgrounds to confront their fears
and overcome challenges, ultimately finding meaning in their lives. It is an
essential component for both everyday existence and spiritual well-being.
Ultimately, resilience is not just an abstract concept; rather, it is a tangible
expression of Christian faith that involves reconciling with oneself and
surpassing limitations to embrace growth. The purpose of these proceedings
is to offer a glimmer of hope to our challenging world, illustrating that each
person can live in the present moment, constantly surprised and grateful.
