Psychological thriller starring Daniel Caltagirone as Nate, a
member of the Urban Explorers: a new breed of thrill-seekers who
thrive on infiltrating the planet's most dangerous man-made
structures, many unvisited for decades or even centuries. When Nate
embarks on his latest mission - to explore the dark and secret
underground tunnels built by Stalin beneath Moscow's Red Square -
he is forced to confront his demons head-on.
Western culture and art were not born of unknown parents.
Christianity, while receiving its mother tongues and its first
canonical texts within Hebrew and Greco-Roman civilizations, has
provided its own major contributions to the art and culture of the
last two millennia. In this volume, scholars of international
reputation, clerics and lay, Catholic and Protestant have reflected
on how Christians have dialogued with diverse cultures and
religions, even as they forged directions unique to the Gospel.The
contributors of ""Christianity and the West"" scrutinize past
achievements in order to face the postmodern secularization of
western society and the globalization of communication, trade, and
travel that claim a right to experimentation, free from
long-standing values and detached from communities where the
quality of culture and art makes a difference. It is argued that
the creative manifestations of culture express the genius of human
agents, authors, and artists, but they find their acid test in
relationship with the flourishing of human persons and society.
However, a human social standard is assured by a divine one.
Culture risks becoming destructive when the aesthetic is severed
from sources of faith and reason about human origins and ends.In
order to face this risk, the present volume explores the
interaction between Christianity, art, and culture in the West,
especially in fine art and architecture, theatre and cinema,
literature and politics. It demonstrates that Christianity has
served as a living memory for humanity, above all, concerning the
unity of the physical and spiritual dimensions that constitute the
human person and culture.
