Man Believer and Unbeliever Author:Francis M. Tyrrell The problem of belief is the central issue of our age. Implicitly it is at the heart of the struggles and aspirations of every age, for it reflects man's current self-understanding and the meaning of his existence to which he is willing to commit himself. — The task of Christian apologetics is to honestly face the fact that the Christian concept... more » of man has been devalued, offering no point of context to modern man. The essence of Christianity is felt to be alien to man's condition. Apologists care challenged to justify the perennial truth that Jesus Christ is necessary to man to become wholly human. Christian apologetics must then take the form of Christian anthropology. The author adapts such an "anthropological" approach--largely under the influence of Karl Rahner--in this presentation of man, as "believer" and "unbeliever."« less
