Publisher's Synopsis
The present volume present three studies which were read and discussed during the Jerusalem seminar of FIUC in 1985. The first study, by Paul Surlis, is about the relation between social justice and inculturation in the Papal Magisterium. The second one, entitled Accommodating Culture Without Dissolving the Unity of the Faith, was presented by Thomas Langan; the third contribution on Catholicism in the United States: Some Elements of Creative inculturation was given by Rodger Van Allen. By way of introduction, a brief study by the Editor, Arij A. Roest Crollius, S. J., has been added which is an effort to formulate the problem of doctrinal unity within a pluricultural church.
