"World 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
