JAMES CARROLLChrist Actually: The Son of God for the Secular AgeThe widely admired Catholic writer tackles the uneasy relationship between faith and modernity by exploring the nature of belief in light of the Holocaust and other atroci-ties of the 20th and 21st centuries. Drawing on a wide range of scholarship and his own searching as a believer, Carroll takes a fresh look at the gospels to highlight Jesus’ pro-found ordinariness as key to a renewal of faith.VIKING HARDCOVER • 368 PP. • 978-0-670-78603-9 • $30.00
