Summary

Through written correspondence, Francesc Torralba and Vicenç Villatoro—a self-proclaimed Christian skeptic and an agnostic, respectively—discuss topics such as the meaning of life, a created God versus a creating God, the sacred and the profane, the religious sphere and the public sphere, death and consolation, ethics without God, beauty, the mystery of evil, the transferring of values and beliefs, the existence of Christians, and spirituality without faith. This collection of back-and-forth letters is a dialogue of ideas and experiences shared in writing over half of a year, from the beginning of the summer through the Christmas celebrations. The contents of the book juxtapose not only a believer and a nonbeliever, but also a philosopher and a writer and a theologian and a journalist. Both men often treat the collected letters as a journal of open, uninhibited statements about the inner and outer paths of life itself.

A través de la correspondencia escrita, Francesc Torralba y Vicenç Villatoro—un autoproclamado cristiano escéptico y un agnóstico, respectivamente—tratan temas como el sentido de la vida, Dios creado o Dios creador, lo sagrado y lo profano, la esfera religiosa y la esfera pública, la muerte y el consuelo, una ética sin Dios, la belleza, el misterio del mal, la transmisión de valores y convicciones, la existencia de los cristianos y la espiritualidad sin fe. Esta recopilación de cartas intercambiadas es un diálogo de ideas y experiencias compartidas por escrito durante medio año, entre el inicio del verano y las celebraciones navideñas. El contenido del libro confronta no sólo a un creyente y a un no creyente, sino también a un filósofo y a un escritor y a un teólogo y a un periodista. Los dos hombres convierten a menudo el epistolario en un diario de exposición abierta y no acomplejada de los senderos interiores y exteriores de la propia vida.
