Christian Humanism

Beschreibung

This collection of original essays represents the contemporary thought of scholars from Europe, China, India, North and South America. It has six parts: The Conceptual Basis for Christian Humanism, Scientific Aspects of Christian Humanism, Humanism, and the Person, Metaphysics of the Person, Theological Dimensions of Humanism and Humanistic Social Philosophy. The authors examine «humanism» with a Christian focus that makes this popular subject more meaningful in our contemporary technological society. Because secular humanism is so prevalent now, it is refreshing to have this new approach from internationally experienced authors who share a common faith in God as well as in the human potential.

«At a time when atheistic neo-humanism has apparently set the norm for human behavior, this book offers a true sign of hope for a return to Christian values. The series of essays should appeal not only to Christians but to all readers who are looking for a return to traditional moral values - 'Christian Humanism' represents the fulfillment of a deep universal human need. The variety and the excellence of the essays make for an impressive contribution to responding to that need.» (Herman Reith, CSC, Notre Dame University)> «The well organized and crafted essays in 'Christian Humanism: International Perspectives' demonstrate how fruitful and essential a Christian understanding of the human person and human nature is to central questions of contemporary culture. This volume presents a good, rich sampling of current Christian philosophical reflection.» (James P. Mesa, Kansas Newman College)
