The 'Illuminating Modernity' series examines the great but lesser
known thinkers in the 'Romantic Thomist' tradition such as Erich
Przywara and Fernand Ulrich and shows how outstanding 20th century
theologians like Ratzinger and von Balthasar have depended on
classical Thomist thought, and how they radically reinterpreted
this thought. The chapters in this volume are dedicated to the
encounter between the presuppositions and claims of modern
intellectual culture and the Christian confession that the
crucified and resurrected Jesus is the power and wisdom of God and
is the lord of history and of his church. The scholars contributing
to this discussion do not assume that Christianity and modernity
are two discrete entities which can be readily defined, nor do they
presume that Christian wisdom and modernity meet each other only in
conflict or by coincidence. They engage with a variety of great
figures - Kierkegaard, Heidegger, Rahner, Przywara, Guardini, Karl
Barth, and Karol Wojtyla - to illustrate the connection between
modernism and Christian wisdom. The volume concludes with a
programmatic statement for the renewal of Christian philosophy that
has been able to retain the cosmo-theological vision as outlined by
Mezei in the final chapter.
