Throughout A Cry of Absence, he pursues the metaphor of the \"winter of the heart.\" Marty bases his concept of the wintry way to God on a passage from the theologian Karl Rahner, describing a \"wintry sort of spirituality.\" It refers to movement toward faith that grapples with pain, uncertainty, evil, loss, and the mystery of death to discover \"hope on the winter-fallow landscape.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wipf \u0026 Stock Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45125212569751,"sku":"9781608991471","price":1875.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781608991471.webp?v=1767278453","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/a-cry-of-absence-9781608991471","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
