It has always been understood that the central claim of
Christianity-that Jesus born of Mary is the Son of God-is as much a
declaration of the mystery of the human as it is the mystery of
God; just as the claim that in virtue of this identity he is the
Christ who restores, and more, transforms, the created order,
intensifies the mystery of the human even further. When the age of
revolution was followed by the age of science, and the effort to
shape the environment by technology was joined by an injunction to
shape societies and economies, and class conflicts became part of
world conflicts, the question about the human emerged as a crisis
in the meaning of being human. Yet the Catholic mind, preoccupied
like every other with the crisis, has conducted its reflection
within a tradition of Christian humanism, insisting on the mystery
and the tragedy, and still the dignity, of the human. This
collection of essays by thirteen Catholic scholars of philosophy,
theology, and political thought investigates a range of topics from
human sexuality and marriage to moral freedom and responsibility in
a pluralistic society, while demonstrating that the Gospel, passed
on in an ecclesial tradition, entered into through a sacramental
tradition, remains the one radical source of confidence in the
quest for human truth.
