5.0 out of 5 stars One of my all time favourite books., 16 Jul 2000
By A Customer
This book describes what it is like to go gradually blind. John Hull is a professor of religious education in Birmingham and is regarded as a guru by most British religious education teachers. He has a profound Christian faith which is so secure that it allows him to ask frank and terrifying questions in search of truth. He describes the psychological, physical and spiritual changes which took place in his life over the period of a few years when he lost his remaining sight. The descriptions are startling and fascinating. Reading the book has changed the way I relate to blind people. Passages include the importance/irrelevance of smiling and eye contact, the way a rainstorm lights up a usually silent landscape, the development of a sixth sense which can tell you when you walk past a lamp post, the use of a child to scoop a tiny peanut from the floor, the changes in dreams and a blind persons analysis of Psalm 139. Professor Hulls book has since been republished under a new title, "On sight insight" and his most recent book "In the beginning was Darkness" is due out soon; a blind person's perspective on the bible. John Hull's writings are wise, perceptive and illuminating. Ignore him at peril to your soul!
