TOO Episode 246 - Book Club 08 | Touching the Rock by John Hull

In the final book club episode of the year, Adam and Budi discuss 'Touching the Rock', by John Hull.
Hull was born in 1935, in Corryong in the state of Victoria, Australia. Following a first degree at Melbourne University and an early career in teaching, he studied theology in Cambridge, UK, where he remained, working as a teacher, religious educator and theologian.
As a religious educator Hull was influenced by extensive study in the complimentary disciplines of psychology, anthropology, sociology and politics. He presented an inclusive and pluralistic religious education as a critically open study which he believed should be seen primarily as a ‘gift’ to students’ personal and intellectual development.
In 1980, Hull lost his sight and for the last 35 years of his life was totally blind. He wrote extensively about the experience, including reflections on how blindness had changed and deepened his faith. His book, ‘Touching the Rock’ was the basis for an award-winning film, ‘Notes on Blindness’, which came out after his death.
