Description:
Reclaiming the Piazza III is a timely contribution, showing how the Catholic theological tradition in its perennial wisdom engages with, and helps redress, the challenges of our times. In its content and collaborative approach, this book models the very kind of "bridge building" it identifes as a fundamental characteristic of the New Evangelization. It will also serve as a rich resource for anyone, of all faiths or none, interested in learning more about the vital roles which faith, reason, and a spirit of charity play in resourcing our culture today.
