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 renowned Christian
authors from a variety of disciplines in the humanities,
Re-Envisioning Christian Humanism recovers a Christian humanist ethos
for our time. The volume offers a chronological overview (from
patristic humanism to the Reformation and beyond) and individual
examples (Jewell, Calvin) of past Christian humanisms. The chapters
are connected through the theme of Christian paideia as the foundation
for liberal arts education.
