The Center Is Jesus Christ Himself: Essays on Revelation, Scripture and Evangelization in Honor of Robert P. Imbelli ed. by Andrew Meszaros (review)

Abstract

thought and modern democratic liberalism—one notes in McCormick’s volume the sort of hopes and longings one associates with Jacques Maritain or John Courtney Murray. McCormick, however, is ultimately more sober or realistic about such hopes being realized in our troubled age. Sounding something like Plato, in the final pages of his volume McCormick appeals to “a spirituality of politics” existing at least for now only in speeches and prayers, and not to a regime that could actually come into being anytime soon.
