Embodied Existence
This book makes a case, from an ecumenical Christian perspective, for a theological anthropology and a missiology that are based on the essential significance of story, body, imagination, and relationality, in order to understand what it means to be human vis-à-vis God, the other, and creation. Such an interpretation, moreover, enables seeking and pursuing a common life for the whole creation in the force field of God’s radical and transformative reign. To advance its argument, it engages contemporary culture, including cinema and, to a lesser extent, fiction and music.
The Bible, Christianity, and Culture
This book originated in the Donatio Universitatis Carolinae award and research support that Professor Petr Pokorný received in 2017. It was envisioned, designed, and originally conducted as a project exploring the biblical roots of Christian culture. Experts in various theological and philosophical disciplines, both from the Czech Republic and abroad, were to probe this topic from their particular perspectives. The hoped-for output was to be a coherent collective study of the proposed topic. However, due to the unexpected passing away of Prof. Pokorný in early 2020, the project could not be executed according to the original plan. Rather than a collective monograph, therefore, the present ...

Bible, křesťanství a kultura
U zrodu této knihy stál projekt vedený Petrem Pokorným, zaměřený na zkoumání biblických kořenů křesťanské kultury, jehož výstupem měla být koherentní kolektivní monografie. Kvůli neočekávanému úmrtí P. Pokorného na začátku roku 2020 však nemohl být uskutečněn podle původního plánu. Výsledkem je tak spíše volný soubor studií, které zkoumají rozličné aspekty Bible a křesťanství v jejich vztahu ke kultuře. První část se soustředí na speciální biblistická témata, druhá pak sleduje historické, filozofické a kulturní souvislosti. Autorem dvou statí je i sám profesor Pokorný a celá kniha je věnována jeho památce.
Theopolitical Imagination
A critique of modern Western civilization, including contemporary concerns of consumerism, capitalism, globalization, and poverty, from the perspective of a believing Catholic. Responding to Enlightenment and Postmodernist views of the social and economic realities of our time, Cavanaugh engages with contemporary concerns--consumerism, late capitalism, globalization, poverty--in a way reminiscent of Rowan Williams (Lost Icons), Nicholas Boyle (Who Are We Now?) and Michel de Certeau. "Consumption of the Eucharist," he argues, "consumes one into the narrative of the pilgrim City of God, whose reach extends beyond the global to embrace all times and places." He develops the theme of the Eucharist as the basis for Christian resistance to the violent disciplines of state, civil society and globalization.
