This book studies the nature, growth and prospects of Roman
Catholic culture, viewed as capable of appropriating all that is
noble both from internal and external sources. John Rist tests his
argument via a number of avenues: man's creation in the image of
God and historical difficulties about incorporating women into that
vision; the relationship between God's mercy and justice; the
possibility of Christian aesthetics; the early development of the
see of Rome as the source of an indispensable doctrinal unity for
Christian culture; the search for the proper role of the Church in
politics. He also argues that such an understanding of Catholic
culture is necessary if contemporary assumptions about inalienable
rights and the value of the human person are to be defended. The
alternatives are a value-free, individualist universe on the one
hand, and a fundamentalist denial of human nature and of history on
the other.
