If giving stars refers to how much you LIKE a book, it is very hard to give stars here. Solentiname is a fascinating document and this is a very good, readable translation; however, while his book raises an abundance of questions, Cardenal himself falls a long way short in his understanding of the gospel; indeed, he specifically rejects key historical Christian doctrines, notably the redemptive death of Jesus and the resurrection. However he does come well prepared in terms of learning to guide his unlearned friends in their comments on the gospels, and there is much of great interest in the people's responses; they are often very insightful. My two abiding memories of the book are these: 1. There is a discussion about an American preacher on the radio in Managua who talks 'very sweetly' about 'being saved' - but does this touch people's real needs? (it doesn't seem to.) What does the 'gospel', the 'good news' really mean in Central America? 2. Cardenal constantly pushes the discussion away from spiritual need to inveighing against social injustice, while at least some of the campesino commentators are more interested in Jesus. In the end he seems to support the violent overthrow of the corrupt Nicaraguan government, and his outlook actually seems ( I would need to check this properly) implicated in sending young men to violent deaths.In summary, very important issues are raised and, particularly when Cardenal does not push discussion of Bible passages in his personal direction too much, the people have much to say.
I almost let this book stay on the shelf. What a mistake that would have been! I shall be reading it for years. It is the discussion by simple people of gospel passages. The "characters" in the gospel passages were simple people. We tend to forget that and in the process often miss the message. Here's what William had to say about the Our Father: We pray to God for his name to be holy, and it's up to us to make his name holy. We pray for his kingdom to come, and it's up to us to build it. We pray that his will be done on earth, and it's up to us to do his will. We pray to him for bread, and it's up to us to make it and share it We pray to him for forgiveness, and it's up to us to forgive. We pray not to fall into evil, and it's up to us to escape from it.Ernesto Cardenal provides solid biblical scholarship to the discussion, and he weaves the comments together with sensitivity. He is, after all, a poet.
I have read in this book, not yet all parts. When I pick it up I read the section that appeals to me at the moment. The exploration of meaning by the campensinos led by Cardenal is eye opening and thought provoking. Anyone interested in reading the Bible while trying to understand what it can mean for different audiences should definitely read this book. Especially, if you are interested in liberation theology, you will find this rich and rewarding and putting into concrete lives things that may have seemed kind of abstract. So, maybe it should have 5 stars.
Love the reflections from within the Solentiname community.
This book was recommended to me as one that widens the perspective of insight and the understanding of the New Testament. It does widen the perspective, but only within the confines of the traditional and rather mystical beliefs that accompany Christianity. It invites for similar work to be done in the wider perspective of humanism and human consciousness.
I am delighted to see this book back in print. The Gospel in Solentiname helps us re-read the Gospels through the eyes of Nicaraguan peasants. Their observations may come as a shock to those reading the same texts in a affluent suburban context. Rather than be dismissive or critical of these perceptions of the Gospel narratives, we should remember that Scripture was written from the perspective of the poor and the oppressed, and tells the story of a God who acts on their behalf. While liberation theology (like any theology) is not without its shortcomings, it is an important voice for the Church to hear. A wonderful new edition, containing wonderful art to go along with wonderful words.
From a theological point of view, there is very little merit. NEVERTHELESS, Gutierrez, is HIGHLY deceitful about his secular political leanings.Marxism IS the theological lens through which Liberation Theology is read. Popes John Paul II and Benedict XVI are to be commended for their condemnation of Gutierrez, along with Leonardo Boff, Ernesto Cardenal and Jon Sobrino. Castro, the Sandanistas and Hugo Chavez RAPED their nations' economies. The Nicaraguans and Venezuelans CANNOT now blame America for their continued economic disasters. Now, that diplomatic relations with Cuba are being restored, ONCE AGAIN it will be demonstrated that ONLY AMERICAN free enterprise will bring prosperity to the Cuban masses. The MOST prosperous Latin American nations ( Brazil, Argentina, etc) with the MOST free trade.NONE of these priests will own up to the reality that traditional Iberian Catholicism brought feudalism to the southern hemisphere. Also, the totally socially irresponsible opposition to contraception by the Catholic hierarchy continues to impoverish the masses! ---Check out The Spirit of Democratic Capitalism by Michael Novak. ONLY American economic and political principles based on the Calvinist Puritan perspective brings what is BEST for all.
