Since the
day of Pentecost the Church
has never ceased responding to
the Lord’s command to proclaim the Gospel to all people.
The content
of this proclamation – the person of Jesus Christ,
the Son of God – has never changed.
What is
‘new’ and continues
to develop is the form by which that same Gospel
is proclaimed with fresh enthusiasm, in a contemporary and
comprehensible language, with methodologies
capable of transmitting the
deepest sense of God’s unchanging Word.
In the
last decades, as the cacophonies of
secularism, relativism, individualism,
materialism, and indifference
have continued to blare, many
have become deaf to the Word of God and live without ever noticing the absence
of God as a real absence in their lives.
Yet,
it is within this cultural context that Catholic schools and universities have
the extraordinary opportunity to ‘make the deaf hear’ ….
We must
understand better how
these privileged places
for the development of
human thought and
personal formation will
become communities where critical thinking is encouraged, to allow each
student to contribute meaningfully to the common good through the witness of
his or her personal faith.
The theoretical
and practical contributions
made by the
authors of this book will serve as a helpful roadmap for
this critical reflection.
