What meaning does my life have? What hope is there for the Church? How can I see beyond the media hype and false images I am bombarded with every day? Where can I find God in all this noise and turmoil? Combining moving stories from the inner city with a fresh approach to the Gospel, Faith in Dark Places explores the revolutionary idea that the good news of God’s love is being spoken to a tired and damaged world by those rejected as worthless: the homeless and the poor. This radically revised edition, incorporating powerful new insights and reflections, draws on recent theological research and the author’s own experience of urban poverty. It examines key biblical texts, such as the Lord’s Prayer as a prayer for the poor (in particular the implications of kingdom, bread and trespasses); the Magnificat; and the causes of the crucifixion.

Though David Rhodes, a British journalist, neither mentions liberation theology nor uses the phrase, "preferential option for the poor," his reading of the gospels has him operating on the same wavelength. His approach is colloquial, his writing accessible to all readers--but it's hard to know how most readers would react to his interpretation of various gospel stories which, while quite brilliant, are also quite conventional. I myself found his take on things to be excitingly fresh and stimulating.
The only thing that dulls the book are a few middle chapters on prayer. There's nothing wrong with what he says about prayer, just that these chapters don't match his others in terms of freshness. Most everything he says about prayer I've read in many other places before.
I have already highly recommended this book to many of my friends. ( )
