Gerard W. Hughes SJ, At Home in God: Essays from The Way, 1962–1985

Gerard W. Hughes SJ(Gerry W. to his many friends) was one of the most prolific, and well-loved, spiritual writers of the last thirty years. His 1985 book God of Surprises has gone through six editions and been translated into more than twenty languages. His last work, Cry of Wonder, came out at the end of 2014, only weeks before his death at the age of 90.

But the ideas that run through the books of his last three decades were first explored in the pages of the British Jesuits’ spirituality journal, The Way. Between 1962 (the second year of the journal’s publication) and 1985, when the success of God of Surprises led him to concentrate on longer writings, he published the nine essays collected here. In these pages you can trace the evolution of his thought on a series of topics that would prove to be of enduring interest to him. The struggle for belief in an unbelieving world; the Christian need to work for peace and justice; an impatience with those who would erect barriers between different churches—all find expression here. He wrote so that as many as possible might find themselves ‘at home in God’. May this collection continue to spread his word and his influence.
