To Build the City of God

Is man an isolated voluntaristic autonomous individual as modernity would have him? Or is he subject to natural social and transcendent orders? Much has been written since Rerum Novarum in 1891 on the general outlines of Catholic social economic and political thought but what Catholics need today is a sure guide to how to live out these principles in their daily lives. To this end Brian McCall's To Build the City of God responds with chapters on marriage and the family dress education profit and wealth debt politics in the age of Obama and much more.<p>The modern world has erected a monstrous edifice on false principles which through its own intrinsic nilhilism is hollow to the core. Given time it must collapse and so with clarity and insight the author points the way for Catholics to live always under the reign of Christ; and to bring His kingship to a world increasingly desperate for the only Way that can truly bind us in temporal solidarity and transcendent communion.
