The Spiritual Mandela presents us the great South African in an unusual perspective, one rarely touched by Mandela himself: the importance of Christian influence in his education. Bishop Desmond Tutu said once that Mandela was very reserved concerning his spiritual life, but this book shows you a narrative filled with facts that contributed to the intellectual and spiritual development of this outstanding figure of modern history.
As Nelson Mandela’s granddaughter Zamaswazi asks himself, “how could he survive twenty-seven years in prison?” Through the reading of
this compilation of Mandela’s letters, written during his time in prison, we can better understand what helped him carry on.
The Spiritual Mandela apresenta-nos o grande líder sul-africano numa perspetiva singular, e por ele raramente abordada: a importância da influência cristã na sua formação. O Bispo Desmond Tutu disse uma vez que Mandela era “muito, muito privado” a respeito da sua vida espiritual, mas este livro mostra-lhe uma narrativa repleta de evidências que contribuíram para o desenvolvimento intelectual e espiritual desta figura ímpar da História Moderna.
Tal como se questiona a neta de Nelson Mandela, Zamaswazi, “como pôde ele sobreviver a vinte e sete anos na prisão?” Sem dúvida que através da leitura desta coleção das suas cartas, escritas enquanto prisioneiro, podemos entender melhor o que o motivou a prosseguir. Durante esse tempo, Mandela fazia questão de guardar uma cópia de cada carta, em cadernos, deixando-nos assim um raro acervo, agora disponível nesta edição.
