Title: Commonweal Confronts the Century
Description: "For 75 years, Commonweal magazine has sought to bring Catholic faith and modern life - especially the experience of American freedom and diversity - into fruitful contact. Now Commonweal Confronts the Century not only marks the anniversary of this distinguished journal, it also traces the ways in which the Catholic intellectual tradition has struggled with modernity, democratic institutions, and American culture while remaining faithful to its heritage." "Collected here are many of the most provocative essays the journal has published by a number of the century's most distinguished writers and thinkers. Together they confront controversial issues of continuing relevance within both the Catholic Church and American society in general."--Jacket.
