61hlm; 13x20,5cm Dom Helder Camara's book, The Desert Is Fertile, centers on the transformative theological idea that the desert (poverty, suffering, loneliness) is not the end, but rather fertile ground for spiritual growth and social justice, offering a roadmap for Abrahamic minorities (Jews, Christians, Muslims) to find hope, community, and concrete action in the face of global injustice, inviting readers to see the reality of marginalization as a call to build love and solidarity. Camara uses the metaphor of the 'desert' to describe the conditions of marginalization, injustice, and suffering experienced by many, but he transforms it into a symbol of hope, not despair, like the soil that becomes fertile after a storm. In short, The Desert Is Fertile is a spiritual and political call to see opportunities for growth and justice in the midst of adversity, inviting minorities and religious communities to work together for a more just and compassionate world. kristiani dan masalah sosial 261.83 PERPUSTAKAAN STFT WIDYA SASANA Jln.
