The legacy and power of Christian humanism- "True Christian
humanism is the full flowering of the theology of the Incarnation.
It is rooted in a totally new concept of what it means to be human
that grew out of the mystery of the union of God and humanity in
Christ." -Thomas Merton From biblical times to the present day, the
massively influential and engaging tradition of Christian
reflection on the value of being human is presented here. With its
primary documents, carefully selected and edited by a team of
experts, Readings in Christian Humanism fully represents the
variety and vitality of the humanistic tradition found in historic
Christianity. Bringing together highlights from the almost
unlimited gallery of Christian humanist thinkers as stimulants to
our own imaginations, this anthology also boldly sets claim to a
ground for Christian humanism today. "An invaluable resource for
students concerned with human dignity and sovereignty under God."
-George H. Williams, Harvard University "A splendid, wide-ranging,
ecumenical collection." -Theodore M. Hesburgh, University of Notre
Dame "Christians and non-Christians alike will profit from the
stimulus of people who enjoy being part of the race that God
honored by choosing to dwell in it." -Martin E. Marty, University
of Chicago The research and editorial development of this volume
was directed by: Joseph M. Shaw, Saint Olaf College, Northfield,
Minnesota; R. W. Franklin, Saint John's University, Collegeville,
Minnesota; Harris Kaasa, Luther College, Decorah, Iowa; and Charles
W. Buzicky, College of Saint Catherine, Saint Paul, Minnesota.
