Halík to receive award for best theological book

The highly-respected Czech philosopher and priest Tomáš Halík will be presented an award for Europe’s best theological book for 2009/2010 at an international convention of theologians in Vienna next week. ČTK announced the development on Friday saying it is the first time the award will go to a writer from “Eastern” Europe. Mr Halík’s book is entitled “Patience with God” and has been translated into Polish, German and English. Last year it was named a book of the month by the US Catholic Book Club.
