Joseph R. Laracy

Nature, Grace, and Secular Culture

Theology

“Father Irdi makes a substantial contribution to both theology and public life in offering a comparison of John Milbank and Joseph Ratzinger on the question of nature and grace. He shows how the church, by understanding the specific theological presuppositions behind secular culture and adopting a balanced, intrinsicist view of nature and grace, as well as an appropriate theology of politics, may be able to successfully challenge the secularist attempt to silence people of faith in the public square.”
