It is the story where the Divine and the Human meet most forcefully, first in company, then in solitude, and where agony and doubt mingle with potential rebirth and revitalization. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAs the Gospels recount, after the Last Supper, Jesus retreated to a small field just outside the city of Jerusalem: Gethsemane, the olive grove. His prayers are interrupted when Judas arrives with a group of armed men, and kisses him, betraying and abandoning him with a kiss. Jesus is forsaken by his friends and, it seems to him in this moment, by his father, his God. His sin, in Recalcati's view, is like Prometheus to have drawn Divine closer to man. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Night in Gethsemane\u003c\/em\u003e is a revelatory, moving, and inspiring meditation by one of Italy's most important thinkers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Massimo Recalcati\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Europa Compass\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/03\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 80\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.5lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.40w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781609456221","brand":"Europa Compass","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42711240376457,"sku":"9781609456221","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_d5549a2c-3fae-4987-8f60-c668851f5d96.jpg?v=1719564952","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/the-night-in-gethsemane-on-solitude-and-betrayal-9781609456221","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
