"[People] sometimes complain that the Church is not up to the times, as though it had to be pursuing the latest theories and styles. It would be better to ask whether the world of nonbelief is still lagging far behind the revolutionary vision that Christ brought into our history. These pages are written primarily for Christian believers and for inquirers into Christianity. They are written from a Roman Catholic perspective, by an author ..."
