Rogerson presents
Klepper as someone with flaws, but placed in the horrific context of
the Nazi regime that any light remained is a miracle.
It is also an
insight in to the world that exists beyond the English language – I
searched “Jochen Klepper” on a popular book selling website and
of the 80 results this is the only one in English – if his works
were available in English he would not be, from our parochially
monoglot perspective, an esoteric figure.
Rogerson found
Klepper because he used the Moravian Community’s “Die Losungen”
daily readings and now I have begun to follow those readings, via the
Moravian Community’s American cohorts and there is something
particularly rich in that joining of dots.
