Global Catholicism - Bog

Global Catholicism: Between Disruption and Encounter examines a worldwide religious institution that has been more globally extensive than truly globalized. It explores the world historical and theological meaning of de-Europeanization with church data uniquely presented by world regions. Readers get an in-depth look at the institutional and theological capacity and limits of the cosmopolitan reality of today's Catholic Church. Its integrated perspective, grounded in cultural and political history together with an ecclesiology of post-Vatican II Catholicism, offers a new way to approach today's emerging post-colonial, inter-cultural Global Catholicism as centuries-old trajectories are disrupted and pressing new realities demand original responses.
