Values in a Time of Upheaval
Item Number: 646
A succinct presentation of the thought of Pope Benedict XVI on the crisis of values in the world today.
In this impressive work on the crucial topics of the relationshsip between religion, culture, morality, truth and politics in these troubled times, Joseph Ratzinger (now Pope Benedict XVI) passionately defends the vital role that Christian values play in our increasingly pluralistic and multi-cultural world. Ratzinger asks the questions, "What are in fact the foundations on which we live? What supports our societies and holds them together? How do states discern their moral bases and the forces that motivate them to moral conduct - forces without which a state cannot exist?" Combining faith and reason, a "political theology" emerges in these pages that avoids the extremes of rampant fundamentalism and excessive relativism and secularism.
