THE WINTER NAME OF GOD
  • Hardback Book with Dust Jacket
  • Written by James Carroll
  • Over 185 pages
  • Copyright © 1975 by James Carroll

" What could be more conventional than a Paulist priest spending a summer sabbatical in the Holy Land? "

" James Carroll is no conventional young priest, but a well-known poet, essayist, and playwright. And the account of his summer in Israel suggests the jagged imagery of a film of Ingmar Bergman as he struggles for the new name of God at a time when the words of the old creed ring increasingly hollow. "

" The relentless atmosphere of modern despair is never far from these pages, even as Carroll visits the holy places, tries to live in a mountain monastery, stares into the eyes of a lonely anchorite, escapes to the fraternity of an Arab village bar, meditates on the suicide of some modern poets he especially admires, and receives the shocking news of the suicide of one of the monks with whom he is staying. "

" Finally, however, The Winter Name of God is a story of recovery. Carroll encourages no pious cop-out but bears witness to his own deepened sense of what it means for Jesus to break the chains of fear with his cry of "Abba" - Father. The confident familiarity of this appeal helps Carroll to a greater understanding of his own father, a much-decorated Pentagon officer, and brings him to the Wailing Wall, with gratitude and a broader compassion, at the book's moving climax. "
