Christianity and Humanism
In this chapter, Jens Zimmermann first offers a brief definition of humanism as a cultural, educational movement before moving to a historical and theological sketch of Christianity's relation to humanism. The main purpose of this chapter is to show that contrary to a common misconception, Christianity and humanism are not mortal enemies. Rather, when viewed in light of humanism's religious roots, Christianity may be described as a kind of humani…
The Routledge Handbook of Christianity and Culture
"The centrality and importance of the intersection of Christianity and culture when it comes to English speaking countries and particularly American culture, history, and politics is beyond doubt. The Routledge Handbook of Christianity and Culture is an outstanding reference source to the key topics, problems and debates in this exciting subject. Comprising over thirty-five chapters by a team of international contributors the Handbook is divided …
Like a family tree’? Memories of ’68 in the German anti-austerity movement Blockupy
Recent years have seen a series of anniversaries of iconic protests. This draws attention to social movements’ long-term legacies both in terms of their impact on society at large as well as their influence on subsequent cycles of mobilization. The growing literature on the interconnections between memories and movements provides crucial insights into such legacies as it explores how movements are remembered or forgotten. The paper aims to contri…

Milieu – Revisited
Re-Envisioning Christian Humanism
Since the early 1980s, there has been renewed scholarly interest in the concept of Christian humanism. A number of official Catholic documents have stressed the importance of ‘Christian humanism’ as a vehicle of Christian social teaching and, indeed, as a Christian philosophy of culture. Fundamentally, humanism aims to explore what it means to be human and what the grounds are for human flourishing. Featuring contributions from internationally re…
Reimagining the Sacred
Contemporary conversations about religion and culture are framed by two reductive definitions of secularity. In one, multiple faiths and nonfaiths coexist free from a dominant belief in God. In the other, we deny the sacred altogether and exclude religion from rational thought and behavior. But is there a third way for those who wish to rediscover the sacred in a skeptical society? What kind of faith, if any, can be proclaimed after the ravages o…

Weak Thought or Weak Theology? A Theological Critique of Vattimo's Incarnational Ontology
The Frankfurt School On Religion
With this collection of essays on the topic of religion by major figures in the Frankfurt school, Eduardo Mendieta adds substantially to the current debate on the religious turn in the academy because these texts offer at least two important reminders concerning the relation of religion and culture. The first is their reciprocal relationship. Religion is always enculturated and culture, in turn, reflects—even shapes—religious convictions and trad…
Confusion of Horizons
This paper argues for Gadamer's indebtedness to logs Christology. Gadamer's language philosophy and hermeneutic experience both depend on theological insights gleaned mainly from St. Augustine and German Pietism. In Truth and Method , Gadamer uses Augustine's rewriting of Platonism to establish his language philosophy and employs the Pietist formula of application to describe the hermeneutical experience as word event. Gadamer's silence about the…
