| Summary: | The historian John Bossy speaks of the migration of the holy from church to state, which gives Cavanaugh his title and broadly captures the direction of these essays, written over a number of years. An ecumenical Roman Catholic, whose greatest theological debt is probably to Stanley Hauerwas, Cavanaugh reflects probingly on the political nature of the church in relation to the pieties and idolatries of the United States. As the solemn coverage of Wootton Basset reminds us, some of the attitudes encountered there are not so distant here, and depending on your account of globalization they may even be dominant. |
