Octavian Gabor, "Immigrant on Earth: A Philosopher on the Road to Emmaus" (Wipf and Stock, 2025)
Manage episode 510688387 series 2421437
In a world where faith and reason are perceived as enemies, this book describes them as companions. Readers of Immigrant on Earth: A Philosopher on the Road to Emmaus (Wipf and Stock, 2025) are invited to travel into the souls of ordinary people and the minds of philosophers and theologians, experience the meekness coming from faith, or attempt to decipher complicated philosophical concepts. This is a book that reveals the human condition of being immigrants: people who apply for entry into the souls of those they encounter.
This is a deeply personal and honest book: it reads like a spiritual, philosophical and theological journal. Octavian Gabor weaves every reading, teaching, music, encounter into a personal spiritual tapestry that helps him span the prosaic, the every day and the sublime. He helps us look deeper into human relationships and into the hidden recesses of reality in order to discern the unseen presence of God.
