This powerful manifesto outlines a vision called theological
humanism based on the idea that that the integrity of life provides
a way to articulate the meaning of religion for the human future.
* Explores a profound quest to understand the meaning and
responsibility of our shared and yet divided humanity amidst the
uncertainty of modern society
* Articulates the idea that human beings are mixed creatures
striving for integrity not only trying to conform to God’s
will
* Sets forth a dynamic and robust vision of human life beyond the
divisions that haunt the humanities, social sciences, theology, and
religious studies
