Books by Gerd Thiessen

I wanted my sermons to bring lifht into darkened lives. I often had specific people and problems in view. I was happy when I suspected that a spark had leapt across. For me "light" is and image of enlightenment. There is "light" in any constructuve thinking on basic questions of life. Emotional impulses pass, thoughts remain. They are teh presupposition for positive feelings and moods. "Traces of Light" is a good description of these sermons and Bible studies. Their metaphors and images are open, ambiguous, flexible. - Gerd thiessen
