American Babylon: Notes of a Christian Exile
Autor Richard John Neuhausen Limba Engleză Paperback – 27 dec 2010 – vârsta de la 13 ani
Christians
are
by
their
nature
a
people
out
of
place.
Their
true
home
is
with
God;
in
civic
life,
they
are
alien
citizens
“in
but
not
of
the
world.”
InAmerican
Babylon,
eminent
theologian
Richard
John
Neuhaus
examines
the
particular
truth
of
that
ambiguity
for
Catholics
in
America
today.
Neuhaus
addresses
the
essential
quandaries
of
Catholic
life—assessing
how
Catholics
can
keep
their
heads
above
water
in
the
sea
of
immorality
that
confronts
them
in
the
world,
how
they
can
be
patriotic
even
though
their
true
country
is
not
in
this
world,
and
how
they
might
reconcile
their
duties
as
citizens
with
their
commitment
to
God.
Deeply
learned,
frequently
combative,
and
always
eloquent,American
Babylonis
Neuhaus'smagnum
opus—and
will
be
essential
reading
for
all
Christians.

Review
“American Babylondisplays Neuhaus in all his virtues – elegantly argued and written, fair-minded and with a formidable range of reference – making the important point that politics without an anchor in a public morality can quickly slip away in dark directions.”
National Review
“In word and deed alike, Neuhaus provided as much ‘spiritual energy for existing goals of change' as any figure of his era. But it's a testament to his own capaciousness that we will be able to turn to him for guidance and inspiration even in eras vastly different from his own.”
The Weekly Standard
“A final, uniquely Christian reflection on making one's way in America....American Babylonremains an important book at a critical moment in history.”
The American Spectator
“[A] short, dense meditation on what it means to live ‘our awkward duality of citizenship,' as both Christians and Americans, with integrity....American Babyloncan be read as a kind of valedictory or summation of many of the intellectual arguments that have preoccupied Father Neuhaus in his previous writings.”
