Book Review:
''Stephen Plant portrays the immense strength and the touching vulnerability of Simone Weil, the complex nature of her convictions, and the startling and continuing relevance of her views today.'' – Donald English, Chairman of the World Methodist Council. Simone Weil (1909–1943) was one of the most original philosophers and political thinkers of the 20th century. She came to Christianity late in life, bringing refreshing creativity and a rare ability to confront theological complacencies. This accessible introduction provides essential details of her biography and thought, with up-to-date scholarship and a comprehensive guide to further reading. Part of the Fount Christian Thinkers series. Essential for students of philosophy, theology, and modern Christian thought.
