Product Details
A chance encounter with a reproduction of Rembrandt’s The Return of the Prodigal Son catapulted Henri Nouwen on an unforgettable spiritual adventure. In The Return of the Prodigal Son, Nouwen shares the deeply personal and resonant meditation that led him to discover the place within where God has chosen to dwell. As Nouwen reflects in the pages of The Return of the Prodigal Son on Rembrandt’s painting, he puts it in light of his own life journey. Therefore, The Return of the Prodigal Son evokes a powerful drama of the classic parable in a rich, captivating way that is sure to reverberate in the hearts of readers.
The Return of the Prodigal Son probes the several movements of the parable: the younger son’s return, the father’s restoration of sonship, the elder son’s resentfulness, and the father’s compassion. The themes of homecoming, affirmation, and reconciliation will be newly discovered by all who have known loneliness, dejection, jealousy, or anger. The challenge to love as God loves, and to be loved as God’s beloved, is seen as the ultimate revelation of the parable known to Christians throughout time, and is here represented with a vigor and power fresh for our times.
