Summary

The Catholic Church is entering a new era. The curtain is coming down on the Church defined by the 16th century Counter-Reformation, and a new Catholicism is taking the stage: Evangelical Catholicism, which confronts head-on the secular hostility of the postmodern age. Drawing on a century of reforms, eminent religious scholar George Weigel shows that the Church will flourish not by adapting to the reigning culture, but rather by reshaping it. In the process, the Church must also reshape itself, by reevaluating religious orders, reinvigorating lay organizations, and demanding more of its members. A bold challenge to Catholics everywhere, Evangelical Catholicismcalls on the clergy and laity alike to unapologetically spread the Gospel and cultivate a more forceful, unwavering practice of the faith.
