Adam : God's beloved /
Nouwen, Henri J. M.
Maryknoll, N.Y. : Orbis Books,
c1997.
The death of his friend Adam, a severely handicapped young man, spurred Henry Nouwen to write this book. He discovered that by reflecting on the story of this young man, he had found a way to describe his own understanding of the Gospel message. In "Adam", a book completed only weeks before his own death, Nouwen has left a fitting reflection of his own essential message and legacy.
Adam's hidden life -- Adam's desert -- Adam's public life -- Adam's way -- Adam's passion -- Adam's death -- Adam's wake and burial -- Adam's resurrection -- Adam's spirit -- Conclusion.
