A critique of modern Western civilization, including contemporary
concerns of consumerism, capitalism, globalization, and poverty,
from the perspective of a believing Catholic. Responding to
Enlightenment and Postmodernist views of the social and economic
realities of our time, Cavanaugh engages with contemporary
concerns--consumerism, late capitalism, globalization, poverty--in
a way reminiscent of Rowan Williams (Lost Icons), Nicholas Boyle
(Who Are We Now?) and Michel de Certeau. Consumption of the
Eucharist, he argues, consumes one into the narrative of the
pilgrim City of God, whose reach extends beyond the global to
embrace all times and places. He develops the theme of the
Eucharist as the basis for Christian resistance to the violent
disciplines of state, civil society and globalization.
