This book explores the philosophical, legal, and theological roots of Western multiculturalism, that is, the encounter and coexistence of different cultures within a liberal society. Rather than concerning themselves with the particulars of cultural dialogue, the authors of this volume go deeper and question the very reality of "multiculturalism" i
Antonio Lopez is provost and associate professor of theology at the Pontifical John Paul II Institute for Studies on Marriage and Family, Catholic University of America. Javier Prades is professor of systematic theology at the Universidad Eclesiastica San Damaso, Madrid, Spain. Angelo Cardinal Scola is Archbishop of Milan.
Peter Casarella -- University of Notre Dame "Antonio Lopez and Javier Prades merit high praise for this fascinating volume. . . . The distinguished contributors represent diverse Euro-American standpoints, but all wish to re-propose a transcendent and lasting vision of cultural diversity. Those who move quickly to defend or repudiate 'multiculturalism' will be forced to rethink their presuppositions. . . . I cannot think of a more necessary or creative project than the one undertaken in these pages." William L. Portier -- University of Dayton "Refreshing. . . . This volume deserves a wide readership and promises to provoke reappraisal of contemporary discourses of multiculturalism in church and academy."
