Review
Christianity And Humanism is the engrossing story of the Christian faith and its implications for modern humanity. Timothy McCarthy traces Hebrew and Christian biblical root-stories from which Christianity has branched out and been embraced in both hemispheres during the past two thousand years. With this foundation, McCarthy explores the hope of ecumenism, the promise of liberation theology, and the challenge and mission of Christian humanism as we approach the third millennium. McCarthy presents his information in a clear and logical format, and although he is rarely overtly inspiration, his study is unfailingly humane. Drawing from a wide variety of sources (secular historical records, papal encyclicals, episcopal letters, contemporary newspapers and magazines) McCarthy tells the compelling story of Christian progress across the centuries. To satisfy the needs of even the most demanding readers, McCarthy provides abundant scriptural reference for collateral reading, maps, an ample glossary,a nd a detailed chronology. Twelve pages of bibliography and two indexes further enhance Christianity And Humanism. Timothy McCarthy's Christianity And Humanism is a benchmark publication and a highly recommended addition to all personal and theological collections. -- Midwest Book Review
