Following Fox-Genovese's lifelong discourse concerning the
individual and the community, Volume 4, Explorations and
Commitments: Religion, Faith, and Culture, contains twenty-five
essays that document her migration from a secular historian's
understanding of religion to a view of faiths informed by her
conversion to Roman Catholicism. Throughout her journey,
Fox-Genovese firmly asserted that the church offered past and
present protection to culture against the excesses of modernity by
advocating the sanctity of life, preserving the importance of the
family, and respecting genuine community.
Mirroring Fox-Genovese's recognition of the importance of religion
to the development of history and the underpinnings of a common
culture, this volume begins with a series of essays examining the
value of studying religion through a historical lens. Even prior to
her conversion, Fox-Genovese's personal blending of Marxism and
feminism led her to become an advocate for the sanctity of human
life, believing that abortion was the abhorrent nadir of a society
that valued economic gain, individual freedom from responsibility,
and untrammeled personal liberty over natural human relationships.
When Fox-Genovese converted to Catholicism in 1995, she refined
many of the previous themes that had characterized her lifelong
work to reflect the fulfillment of a Christian sense of community,
faith, feminine and familial identity, and culture. The essays in
this volume provide an intimate perspective to Fox-Genovese's faith
transformation as she investigated a variety of literary,
philosophical, economic, and socio-political issues.
Volume 4 also includes a foreword by Mark A. Noll, the Francis A.
McAnaney Professor of History at the University of Notre Dame and
author of America's God: From Jonathan Edwards to Abraham Lincoln
and The Civil War as a Theological Crisis.
