The book arose out of a series of conversations with a journalist from the Italian journal Il Regno, Francesco Strazzari. During it, Schillebeeckx talked 'as though he had met you in the street and you had asked for directions, or as if he was sitting at a table in a cafe'. His language, originally a mixture of English, French and German, and then rendered into Italian, is clearer than in his many books, and his style is warm, humorous and personal.First he talks about his life, and then he focusses on some of the theological questions which have particularly interested him: creation, eschatology, ethics, the church and its ministries. The book ends with a favourite prayer and two sermons.This attractive book will delight all those who have been inspired by Edward Schillebeeckx's theology, and make him many new friends.
