OverviewWorld and Church deals with the conflict between religiosity and life in the world. Deliberately, Schillebeeckx turns around the order of the words in the idiom 'church and world', thereby stressing the embedding of faith and church life in particular contexts. In the first three chapters he reflects on this tension as he experienced it in burgeoning existentialism and debates between Catholics and Marxists in those turbulent years in Paris, where he was living immediately after World War II. It includes thoughts on pastoral work among the working class and the then popular pretres-ouvriers movement. He looks at some social problems and the mutual interrogation of believers and non-believers, also in light of the ideological compartmentalisation ('pillarization') evident in diverse spheres of European society: education, social work and health care. Schillebeeckx concludes by considering the responsibility of Catholic intellectuals and academics for the future of the world and the church, including the possible significance of a Catholic university Full Product DetailsAuthor: Edward Schillebeeckx , Ted Mark Schoof, OP (Professor)Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Imprint: T.& T.Clark Ltd Dimensions: Width: 15.60cm , Height: 2.00cm , Length: 23.60cm Weight: 0.540kg ISBN: 9780567054227ISBN 10: 0567054225 Pages: 272 Publication Date: 31 July 2014 Audience: College/higher education , Tertiary & Higher Education Format: Hardback Publisher's Status: Active Availability: Manufactured on demand ![]() We will order this item for you from a manufactured on demand supplier.
