Aldo Bodrato's thought is not easily comprehensible in a specific subject-matter research: he studied philosophy but dealt in theology during all his life with a great competence. His word is free, sometimes pungent, but this is because he is passionate and his work can be only understand considering his faith, lived as a political and social engagement. The narrative turn, in which he is experimenter of that theological field always more theorized than praticed still today, is realised in three stories collections, where acts many biblical, historical or fictional characters (neverthless historically founded, as he himself wished to remark), who in different ways embody rebellion typical in those hungry of justice, so near to the author' sensitivity. This meas that we find prophetic voices who criticized and unmasked the various forms under which human power concealed and variously embodied in characters living on the threshold or outside the human community.
