Because He Has Spoken to Us
Author

ISBN

Pope John XXIII called the Second Vatican Council so that the Church's doctrine might be more widely known, more deeply understood, and more penetrating in its effects. However, since the close of the Council in 1965, the results are wanting. Rather than announcing the gospel boldly in the present age, the Church has been seemingly reduced to silence. How did she lose her voice? How did the structures of proclamation, intended to hand on the Catholic faith, devolve and even contribute to vaporizing a Catholic culture? Because He Has Spoken to Us traces such developments from fixed points drawn from the fluid theology of Karl Rahner to their postmodern condition--successive steps that usher in the crisis by subduing, dismissing, and silencing the tradition. This postconciliar anthropocentric structure can now be better understood, critiqued, and displaced by a Ratzingerian approach. Rather than embracing a given demanded by contemporary context, Ratzinger proposes the revelation of the Logos in Jesus Christ as the given, the true object of Christian faith. His alternate proposal requires the courage to face the full scope of the Christian structure, accessed through the Church's tradition, and a willingness to proclaim the gospel personally and with humble confidence.Binding Type: PaperbackAuthor: Brad BursaPublisher: Pickwick PublicationsPublished: 05/11/2022ISBN: 9781666735833Pages: 428Weight: 1.25lbsSize: 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.87d
