Western Culture Today and Tomorrow: Addressing Fundamental Issues

ISBN10:1621643166ISBN13:

Description:
Well known for his important scholarly contributions to dogmatic theology and biblical commentary, Joseph Ratzinger has also been an insightful, shrewd analyst of political modernity and its discontents. This work reveals Ratzinger’s keen insight into the fundamental challenges confronting the twenty-first-century West.
The civilizational project we call “the West" was a cultural achievement with a history. Ratzinger understands that Jerusalem, Athens, and Rome were the three legs of the cultural stool on which “the West" rests. From that under- standing, Ratzinger draws his analysis of the West’s post- modern crisis. Nineteenth-century Western culture kicked the Jerusalem leg out from under the stool when its “atheist humanists" declared the God of the Bible the enemy of human maturation and liberation.
