Dynamic Character of Christian Culture

This volume is among the first in America which embraces, with enthusiasm and competence, the cause of an authentic contemporary Catholic historiography and vision of history. The second merit of the book is that it brings out and discusses a subject that has long been taboo: if the West is in an unquestioned decline, how can the Church, so intimately linked to Western causes and mentality, survive the crisis? The third aspect I found worthy of note is John Mulloy's frank discussion of another taboo subject, the relationship of capitalism to Christianity.
