    Wendell Berry and the Cultivation of Life, by J. Matthew Bonzo and Michael R. Stevens

    Against the specific ills of modernity Berry provides a new vision for life which he finds rooted in the good of creation, community, and cultivation. A second significant theme Bonzo and Stevens engage is hospitality. While communities and households maintain certain boundaries necessary for life together, the practice of hospitality makes these boundaries fluid and flexible.

    When hospitality becomes understood primarily as a practice of households and communities questions regarding the true inclusivity of women and marginalized peoples must be raised. In the midst of these questions, Bonzo and Stevens are explicit in acknowledging the varied possibilities for community and household. Households carry certain structures of authority, maintain various traditions and norms, and form specific virtues and character traits. Page 1 of 1 Start over Page 1 of 1.

    Please try again later. I'm one of Matt Bonzo and Michael Stevens's former students who encountered firsthand the embodiment of much of what they describe in Wendell Berry's works. Thus, I trust these two authors as close readers of Berry's ideas. The course was the most rewarding I've ever taught and, in fact, I felt that I was learning from my students just as much as they were learning from me. WBCL facilitated much of this learning through the authors' winsome style, honest personal reflections, and careful working of Wendell Berry's ideas.

    Description Wendell Berry's poetry, fiction, and essays persistently ask the question: How can we live meaningful lives in a consumer-driven, fragmented age?

    His honest search for health in the midst of disease has garnered attention and discussion in both conservative and progressive circles. Wendell Berry and the Cultivation of Life thoroughly examines Berry's main themes of community, place, and conservation. It offers an apology for the power of Berry's vision and the ways in which his account of the world resonates with the biblical narrative.

    Pastors, students, professors, and laity will discover in this book how to flesh out Berry's worldview and foster a culture of life in their neighborhoods, churches, and schools. Product details Format Paperback pages Dimensions People who bought this also bought.
