2013 CCED Book Prize winner Having left its Christian roots behind,
the West faces a moral, spiritual and intellectual crisis. It has
little left to maintain its legacy of reason, freedom, human
dignity and democracy. Far from capitulating, Jens Zimmermann
believes the church has an opportunity to speak a surprising word
into this postmodern situation grounded in the Incarnation itself
that is proclaimed in Christian preaching and eucharistic
celebration. To do so requires that we retrieve an ancient
Christian humanism for our time. Only this will acknowledge and
answer the general demand for a common humanity beyond religious,
denominational and secular divides. Incarnational Humanism thus
points the way forward by pointing backward. Rather than resorting
to theological novelty, Zimmermann draws on the rich resources
found in Scripture and in its theological interpreters ranging from
Irenaeus and Augustine to de Lubac and Bonhoeffer. Zimmermann
masterfully draws his comprehensive study together by proposing a
distinctly evangelical philosophy of culture. That philosophy
grasps the link between the new humanity inaugurated by Christ and
all of humanity. In this way he holds up a picture of the public
ministry of the church as a witness to the world's reconciliation
to God.
