Contemporary news headlines, as well as the history of the Church,
are replete with scandals, unholy acts, and abuses of power. Such a
disappointing trend has shaken the faith of many, and made it
fashionable to decry the hypocrisy of "organized religion." Yet
despite these massive stumbling blocks, the Church has always
insisted, and continues to maintain, that it is none other than the
Holy Body of Christ. How can these polarities be reconciled? How
can the world's trust in the Church be renewed in this postmodern
era of religious indifference and apathy? How can an obviously
flawed institution become the genuine Church, as intended by Jesus
Christ? Responding to these questions, the author calls for a
critical self-evaluation of the Church in her quest for renewal,
presents a much-needed modern interdisciplinary approach to
apologetics, and powerfully promotes ecumenism. This scholarly and
passionately written book substantiates Christian optimism, and
provides a thoughtful and convincing response to the challenges
posed by skeptics such as Nietzsche, Freud, Dawkins, and their
contemporary intellectual heirs.
