In \u003ci\u003eLament for a Son\u003c\/i\u003e he writes not as a scholar but as a loving father grieving the loss of his son. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In brief vignettes Wolterstorff explores with a moving honesty and intensity, all the facets of his experience of this irreversible loss. Though he grieves \"not as one who has no hope,\" he finds no comfort in the pious-sounding phrases that would diminish the malevolence of death. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The book is in one sense a narrative account of events--from the numbing telephone call on a sunny Sunday afternoon that tells of 25-year-old Eric's death in a mountain-climbing accident, to a graveside visit a year later. But the book is far more than narrative. Every event is an occasion for remembering, for meditating, for Job-like anguish in the struggle to accept and understand. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e A profoundly faith-affirming book, \u003ci\u003eLament for a Son\u003c\/i\u003e gives eloquent expression to a grief that is at once unique and universal--a grief for an individual, irreplaceable person. Though it is an intensely personal book, Wolterstorff decided to publish it, he says, \"in the hope that it will be of help to some of those who find themselves with us in the company of mourners.\"\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNicholas Wolterstorff\u003c\/b\u003e is Noah Porter Professor Emeritus of Philosophical Theology at Yale University.
