On November 16, 1989, I finished sketching a first draft of the ideas that eventually became Chapter 3 of this book, on the advent of truth in the tension between the complexity of one's tradition and the simple realization one accomplishes through total engagement in it. That same afternoon I heard the news of the murder in El Salvador of my six Jesuit brothers and their housekeeper and her daughter. Though worked out in a very different context, their engagement in the truth is perhaps not entirely unrelated to what I have written here. To their memory I dedicate this book. |
