'God's Mirror' explores how French Catholic intellectual culture in the mid 20th century was caught up in the process of transition from a closed, defensive and conceptual theological structure of the late-nineteenth century to an open, 'authentic' and 'experientially' committed faith. The volume offers different stories of renewal and engagement in Catholicism, which address the nature of this transition and the tensions therein. What unites these stories is their illumination of a Catholicism that is increasingly concerned with the human being and the concrete, lived reality of faith.
