2012: 울림: 우리가 몰랐던 이 땅의 예수들
조현 지음
일제에 맞서 독립운동을 벌이며, 버림받은 민중을 위해 자신의 모든 것을 벗어 주었고, 독재에 맞서 민주화운동에 참여하는 등 예수처럼 오직 고통받는 사람들과 함께 현실 속에서 십자가를 짊어진 한국 기독교 영성가들의 이야기를 통해 이 땅의 기독교인들의 삶과 신앙을 재조명하였다. 나아가 주체할 수 없는 변화의 욕망이 점령해 버린 한국사회 속에서 어떤 태도로 현실을 맞이하고 살아가야 하는지에 대해서도 일깨워준다.

In this book the author offers a lay-friendly introduction to some of the Old Testament’s most interesting—and often overlooked—prophets.
