| Description: |
Tomas Halik provides a poignant reflection on Christianity's crisis of faith. He offers a vision of the self-reflection, love, and growth necessary for the church to build a deeper and more mature faith.
In a world transformed by secularization and globalization, torn by stark political and social distrust, and ravaged by war and pandemic, Christians are facing a crisis of faith. Tomas Halik reveals the current crisis as a crossroads: one road leads toward division and irrelevance, while the other provides the opportunity to develop a deeper, more credible, and mature form of church, theology, and spirituality--an afternoon epoch of Christianity.
The fruitfulness of the reform and the future vibrancy of the Church depends on a re-connection with the deep spiritual and existential dimension of faith. Halik argues that Christianity must transcend itself, giving up isolation and self-centredness in favour of loving dialogue with people of different cultures, languages, and religions. This renewal of faith can help the human family move beyond a clash of civilizations to a culture of communication, sharing, and respect for diversity. |
