The Fire Within

Description

Former South African anti-apartheid activist Allan Boesak addresses numerous subjects of international concern in this collection of sermons written after his arrest and prosecution for theft and fraud. In the words of G.D. Cloete, Professor Emeritus, New Testament Studies, University of the Western Cape: 'After a long drought, Allan Boesak has come up with a new book of his sermons. Its release indicates that he has not been paralysed by what may have been traumatic experiences in his recent past and which may have made him feel at the ‘edge of exile’. On the contrary, the title suggests that he was burning to say what he felt should be said. And he continued to do that when opportunities presented themselves and from the platform that he knows best, namely the pulpit. Through this publication, the contents of his sermons become available to a broader audience
