Se puede encontrar todavía a Dios en esta sociedad líquida? La secularización y descristianización actual de Occidente, son un signo del final de los tiempos, o simplemente de una época que se acaba y otra que comienza? La sociedad plural y relativista, es el enemigo a combatir, levantando barreras y muros para defenderse de ella? Cómo están llamados a vivir su fe quienes creen en Jesús en un momento histórico como el actual que, en muchos aspectos, se asemeja al de los comienzos del cristianismo.En intenso y lúcido diálogo con el conocido vaticanista Andrea Tornielli, Julián Carrón --responsable de Comunión y Liberación desde hace trece años-- responde a estas y otras muchas cuestiones sobre el núcleo esencial de la fe cristiana, la dinámica propia con la que el cristianismo se comunica y la forma del testimonio en una sociedad que va camino de ser poscristiana. Todo ello sin eludir otros temas más espinosos y candentes relativos tanto a la vida de la Iglesia como a la del propio

In 2005, Father Julián Carrón became the leader of the global ecclesial movement Communion and Liberation, following the death of the movement's founder, Father Luigi Giussani. Disarming Beauty is the English translation of an engaging and thought-provoking collection of essays by one of the principal Catholic leaders and intellectuals in the world today. Adapted from talks given by Fr. Carrón, these essays have been thoroughly reworked by the author to offer an organic presentation of a decade-long journey. They present the content of his elaboration of the gospel message in light of the tradition of Fr. Giussani, the teachings of the popes, and the urgent needs of contemporary people. Carrón offers a broad diagnosis of challenges in society and then introduces their implications in contexts such as families, schools, workplaces, and political communities. In a dialogue with his listeners, he inspires and encourages them to lay out a new path for the Catholic church and the world. Throughout his essays, Carrón addresses the most pressing questions facing theologians today and provides insights that will interest everyone, from the most devout to the firm nonbeliever. Grappling with the interaction of Christian faith and modern culture, Carrón treats in very real and concrete ways what is essential to maintaining and developing Christian faith, and he invites an ongoing conversation about the meaning of faith, truth, and freedom.

Father Luigi Giussani engaged tirelessly in educational initiatives throughout the course of his life. Much of his thought was communicated through the richness and rhythm of oral discourse, preserved as audio and video recordings in the archive of the Fraternity of Communion and Liberation in Milan.This volume presents the last three spiritual exercises of the Fraternity of Communion and Liberation, drawing from the transcripts of these recordings. In these exercises Giussani investigates the rise of ethics and the decline of ontology that have accompanied modernity and the spread of rationalism. Bearing up against old age and illness, he resisted the urge to withdraw, instead finding new avenues of communication and the technological means to reach all corners of the movement. To Give One’s Life for the Work of Another explores the nature of God, the powerful human experience of self-awareness, and the fundamental components of Christianity, in the unmistakable voice of a consummate teacher.At a time when young people are abandoning the church and questioning the value of faith, Father Giussani’s method of judging and verifying Christianity as an experience is a timeless intervention.
