Produktbeschreibung

Does it still make sense to follow Jesus in the Religious Life of voluntary poverty, celibacy and obedience in the Secularized World? The monograph traces the history of the religious life, the history, dimensions and effects of secularization,and argues that the religious life is still relevant in the secularized world since the human being by nature is a composite of both spiritual and material elements. Science and technology, the basis of secularization,only satisfy the desires of the material dimension of the human being, but they are incapable of satisfying the desires of the spiritual dimension which are the most basic desires of the human person. Therefore as long as human beings remain spiritual-and-material beings, they will always have spiritual desires, and there will always be spiritual values apart from material values which science and technology/secularization offer.(62 pages)
